Is there an online resource for Guild archtop models?

[bradk]

hey folks...after buying my X150 last year, and absolutely loving it, I'm wanting to research some of their other archtops. Where do you guys go for this? Is there a book or website? I'm wanting something similar in spec to a ES175 with a single P90 in the neck. Did Guild make something along those lines?

Looks like I should've browsed around a little more. Just saw the posts on The Guild Guitar Book by Hans Moust. Looks like the ticket.

You got it, Brad. Hans' book is the best place to start.

Welcome to LTG.

http://www.archtop.com is a pretty cool place, though I'm not sure how "informative" they may be compared to fueling GAS.

So I noted in another post that there wasn't a contract involved in your winning that contest? Were the posted terms incorrect, or was that a different level? No doubt it was fun, but too bad it wasn't as lucrative as it appeared.

dklsplace, yes there were 2 contests. The live performance part (the big prize) and the online song contest (the one I won). A guy out of Houston named Arron Loesch won the big prize. Great player and well deserved. A lot of people were confused due to the lack of info posted on the website. I did do an interview and a short acoustic jam in Hollywood that they were supposed to post on the website but that never became a reality. It may show up once they update the site for the 08 contest.

I'm familar with archtop.com... had to stop going there as I developed a chronic drooling problem.

I just came across the Guild CE-100...that looks like it fits the bill for what I'm looking for.

thanks for the info!
