Well... the year was 1996, and I was hanging out at my local music store. The owner walked out and said, "Since you're a Guild fan, take one of these," and handed me a 1996 catalog. I don't know how many times I read that thing, but the end result was an enduring desire to own an A50. 22 years later, I have one, and.... ehhh, it's OK. It's pretty, it's well-made. It plays nicely. The sound doesn't impress me though. That's what I kept reading, but I had to see for myself. I'm gonna try some different strings and see what happens.
(Owning an Orpheum 12 fret first MIGHT have raised my expectations. I keep forgetting that guitar isn't normal.)
