"New" Guild at my house

[killdeer43]

This might sound like "deja vu all over again," but just bear with me.

I wanted to restring my D4-12 last night but only had a set of D'Addario EJ17 PB Mediums on hand, so I am currently blown away by the sound of this guitar as a 6 string...wow!

The action on this guitar has always been low, making it very easy to play and the nut width and string spacing now make it a delightful 6 string for finger and flat picking. And let's not forget the projection from the arched back.
While I don't plan to do what I did with the F-112 :shock: , I will enjoy this set-up for a while. :wink:

Thanks for stopping by and now, back to your regular programming,
Joe

I bet you've got BIG hands.
Do you think those unused bridge pins have any effect on the tone? :lol:

Depends on whether they are plastic, ebony or bone...

Always so much to ponder, it seems.
Maybe I'll remove them and give it a listen. Stay in tune! :wink:

Only the plain white one. Add one more with the black dot and you'll be fine.

I'll be trying something similiar with my JF30-12 though not sure if I should just temporarily only put on the low strings of the 12 string set (12-54s) or put on the heavier EJ17s (13-56s).

Any additional rattles from the tuners etc in the guitar without the unused strings?

No rattles, etc., everything's nice and snug/tight.
I'm still enjoying it as a 6-string and in no hurry to add the other 6.

Crazy world, ain't it? :lol:
This D4-12 makes a beast of a 6-string. It's very....loud!
