Interesting Guild alteration

[Brad Little]

Made to order in order to be played his way:

 

[SFIV1967]

"This piece is recorded with a Guild JF-30 12 strings, beautifully amended by luthier Michel Pellerin 10-string special specification according to guitarist Gino Fillion. The alternation of thumb is 2 pairs of double strings at the top of the 5th string. The 10th chord is a D major. "

Or as Chris summarized:
"Note that it was a JF-30-12 12 string that Québécois (Canadian, not French) luthier Michel Pellerin modified, converting it to a 10-string and filling two machine head holes, adding a cutaway, wider saddle, new bridge holes, a scalloped fingerboard for easier bending and vibrato, a modified nut and a Baggs pickup. "

France modifies the JF30

Oh my, you got to check out fretboard. http://youtu.be/RNSRDSAxkuM

What a cool sound! But 6 strings is challenging enough for me...

But 6 strings is challenging enough for me...

And think about those players who claim they feel a huge difference in nut width between 1 5/8" and 1 11/16"... Look at this nut!

Guild sitar?

Amazing!

 

[Rambozo96]

This reminds me of the heavily modded J-200 John McLaughlin had in his time in Shakti.
