Guild Shirts

[Rainsong]

Anybody know where I can get a Guild "T" or polo shirt?

Coastie, upon occasion, sponsors a Ltd Edition Special Event T shirt. Gotta pay attention, they sell out pretty quick.

Graham has a Pic layout with him modeling past issues.

I would love to have some new Guild polos, denims, too. All the ones I bought from Solidbody and New Hope (Thanks, Jay!) are gone or shot. I understand that it is hard to get these things made and marketed and have anything to show for the hassle and expense when it's all said and done. I'll keep waiting.

Cafe' Press will sell any design you want. While I image Fender would frown on Guild shirts, I think some LTG special designs would be in order. From my limited understanding, you put up a store with your designs and a third party actually prints up the shirts, mugs, sweatshirts and whotnot.

Most any good size town or city will have a business doing custom silkscreening and embroidery, but for legal reasons they are unable to do corporate logos (G shield, for instance) without permission. The liabilities are both civil and criminal with punitive damages likely.

Not really that hard, especially silk screned ones (embroidery is a little more costly). Most companies don't try and sell shirts to make money, they mainly are used as an advertising tool and they hope to break even. I was hoping there was a place on the Guild website I was overlooking you could order apparel.

thanks for the replies, I guess I'll stick with the rainsong shirt for a while :wink:

With all the "Fender" merchandise you can get, I'm not sure why the company doesn't offer similar "Guild" stuff. Perhaps someone here has some insight...

And it would seem it would be a good marketing tool.

How about Guild caps? I like to collect caps.

Just a thought... seeing as I live in the Philippines, there's any number of shops here that would do any logo we liked, including a big ol' G-Shield, with no concern at all. Labor might even be cheap enough to make up for the cost of shipping them. Of course whoever received and distributed them on that end might be liable for something, but if it's an in-house guerilla sort of thing...

Just a thought.

What kind of Corporate Moron would object to Guild Guitar afficionado's, at their own expense, printing up shirts & hats with the company logo & wearing them out in public :?:

In reality probably none, unless the stuff was being sold on a commercial scale. I think the problem is more that printing shops have a blanket policy against printing any copyrighted logo or symbol... given the litigation fetish that seems so widespread in the US, I can't really blame them.

Dayuhan: So, if someone across the water were to open a Paypal account after having a discussion with one those shops willing to produce those shirts, I bet that account would magically have funds transferred to it by a lot of folks that belong to a forum like this...
Just hypothetically, of course.

And it would be smart if those shirts were mostly XXl's.

Just hypothetically, of course. :lol: :lol:

I'll have a hypothetical discussion with someone who could do the work, and maybe get a hypothetical shipping quote...

Exactly.

A rhetorical question I hope. If serious then you need to look at intellectual property laws for a real answer. If Fender now, or ever in the future, wanted to sell such gear then what is proposed is effectively counterfeiting. If Fender feels there is value in the Guild logo then the failure to act now could, in the future, be used in court or elsewhere, to diminsh that value. I could go on, but you get the idea.

As an IT professional, the only thing I create is "intellectual property" so I have a lot of sympathy for "Corporate Morons" who work to make sure intellectual property has and retains value.

That said, I have struggled with the ethics of software piracy over the years and I have concluded that I really have no problem using software that cannot be purchased, any more, from the rightful owner. So if I have an ethics problem with unauthorized logo gear that problem would occur in the decision to create/produce it and not in the use of it.

Exactly.

Coastie......hold off on the 2008's ok! :wink:

Funny this topic should re-emerge.

I bought a few Guild items from Jay a few years ago - including a denim shirt that was a little too tight around my geezer gut. I put it away, then found it recently. As I lost some weight, it fits great now. And I wore it for the first time yesterday - to take Linda to the hospital for her surgery - which went very well - so this is now my good luck shirt.

I'm writing from a public access PC across from her hospital room now as she's in radiology at the moment. Glad I'm using the time to catch up on LTG

She is in our prayers, Squawk! As are you.
