G75. What is it?

[richt54]

The person that I will be (probably)buy a Tacoma Guild D-55 from told me about this guitar that he owns. It's a Guild G-75r. What kind of permutation is it. Who else has one. I'm sure this has been discussed previously. Anyway, it piqued my interest.

It is a mini dread. I think it is between and F20 and F30 in size. It has truly great tone and projection for its size. Rare model. I’ve played one and would have bought it in a heart beat if it had a 1-3/4 nut. Buy it if it checks out and the price is right. No doubt someone here will want it if you don’t.

Maybe 'cause I cant sleep tonight but is that a jumbo in the above pictures?

Looks like a JF 100

Guild G-75-RC - Westerly Guild Guitars

Hmmmmm.

It looks like one awagner doesn't have!

 

[dreadnut]

Only 6 made.

I love it when I wake up at 2 am and end up finding guitars I want here, instead of sleeping. Once I drift off I'll forget all about it. Perfect.....

I've done that once - went to check out a Fender (I think a Duo-Sonic) from a guy. He had an Ampeg Reverbojet there, too. I came home with the Ampeg.

Not yet.

The one in the picture looks very different than the G75 I am thinking of. Here are a couple that sold on Reverb. No bling. I don’t know what the one above is, it is much more blinged out.

Guild G-75 - Mini Dreadnaught Shape with Full Scale Neck! - Amazing Guitar with an Innovative Design! - Brand New Fret Job and Original Hard Case! - Made in Westerly, R.I.🇺🇸! | Reverb

This Guild is a soul-crushing guitar. It has all the classic reasons that you would seek out an old Guild for, and it’s also a super innovative and practical design! I grew up playing old Guilds made at the Westerly factory from this era, and they’re my all around favorite acoustic guitars for so...

Just another example of Guild unintentionally recycling a model name. With changes in ownership come gaps in historical knowledge.

Think of the D60.

I forgot about this model name overlap.

Now we can compare the two, like we do with unrelated versions of the D25.

Don't forget about the F40.

Don't forget about the F40.

Ha! If Al was still posting, he'd be all over that one.

Not yet.

What is it? Is it a non-cutaway custom shop like the G-75RC posted above? Looks like a jumbo shape.

I do have a G 75. Pretty huge voice for a smaller bodied guitar. Dread, are you sure there were only 6 made?? That doesn't seem right to me for some reason.

Yeah, I don't think that's right. They probably didn't make a lot of them, but I doubt we're looking at HALF of them that were ever made with the three ads above. But I'm not sure how many, though. Maybe post pacemaker implant he can revise that number.

 

[richardp69]

Don't forget about the F40.

I'll tell ya though. That Oxnard F 40 Jumbo Mahogany is a really fine model. I've owned 3 of them at various points. Revently sold my last one because I picked up the Orpheum Jumbo.

The buyer of my F 40 messages me regularly to tell me how thrilled he is with that guitar. I wouldn't argue much, it was a great sounding/playing guitar.

This is lokely a severe veer so I apologize for that Mr. Moderators.

Is he saying the newer G-75 of the 3/4" size G-75? I would think the newer.

This is likely a severe veer so I apologize for that
