Hello there,
This is my first post here - I've never owned a Guild before but I must say after doing some research I'm getting some serious GAS for one!
I was wondering if anyone here could help. I've seen a Guild CE 100 in blonde locally, it's with the single Franz pickup and looks in very good shape. I think it's a 58 or 59. I'm very interested in buying this guitar and essentially I've narrowed my choice down to this or a 53 125 which is nearly twice as much.
To me the Guild seems like good value, especially as it's good condition. Also the single cutaway is a good feature. Plus the necks tend to be more comfortable from what I can tell.
I was just wondering if anybody has owned both of the guitars and can make a comparison as to which might be better.
In terms of the music that I'm interested in making - well I love all the players from the 50's. Kenny Burrell, early Wes, Jimmy Raney. I like playing hornlike single lines and that's kind of the sound I have in my head.
Any thoughts would be very gratefully received!
