Just wanted to say hello to all. I've been reading the last year or so and decided to join and contribute where I can. I'm definitely towards the bottom of the guild learning curve, so it may be a bit before I jump in to much! I have to get a copy of Hans' book to get up to speed on the history and nuances.
I've been playing for 30+ years and after typing that - I'm feeling old! I have 2 guilds and absolutely love them both. They are very well built guitars and sound great. They don't sound like any of the other guitars I have and I feel they are under-rated by your 'average Joe' - and I'm not talking about the plumber! I have a newer SFIV in maple, fender made, and a 1961 SFIII that's mahogany, with dearmond pick ups. The label actually says Amberfire III, handwritten, and I think that reflects the color. It's not the usual cherry red.
Anyway, I'm happy to be here and look forward to learning as much as I can about Guilds. I'm overdue. Until now, I've really been enjoying playing them!
Peace - Z
