A few days ago LTGer Ralf and I met on near the German Autobahn between Munich and Salzburg (or Corona reasons, of course). Ralf sold me his 2014 Guild Orpheum 12 string 12 fret slotted headstock, one of the last Guilds built in NH. Shown at NAMM in 2014 and presented by Ren Ferguson, this is a very rare jnstrument. It is an OM, but the 12fret and the slotted headstock owe also a lot to a 000. With a red spruce Top and rosewood b&s, the guitar sounds quite bright and reminds me a bit of maple. This of course is due to the smaller than usual shape we know of Guild 12ers. It is as good as new
I have restrung it with D'Addario Nickel Bronze 10-47.
I am very happy with this guitar which makes a perfect companion for my 1969 F-312.
Thanks a lot to Ralf for not putting it up for sale on the market, and a big thank you to him for his extensive documentation of each and every aspect of this beautiful Guild!!
Let the photos speak for themselves !
