New Tacoma Day (kinda).

Again, this is a guitar I had owned and sold to my friend who can no longer play due to health issues. It kind of falls outside my buying strategy parameters but I had an emotional attachment and it helped my friend out so I did it.

I'm sure my pics won't do it justice but it is one of the more beautiful quilted Maple guitars I've ever owned. Solid Maple back and sides, solid Sitka Spruce top, Rosewood board with nice inlays, Gold Gotoh tuning machines etc. It does have the "barn door" type Fishman electronics which I'm not a huge fan of but I can deal with it.

I'm pretty sure this was built in the same Tacoma plant that built numerous really nice Guild models. I've never had a bad Tacoma built Guild.

I've owned nearly all the Tacoma models over the years but sold them all off and now have just this one. I traded my friend two shotguns and some cash to get it.

Here's a few pics (yeah, I know Rich Cohen, my pics suck (lol) but here's a stab at it anyway.

Nice, congrats! Between the quilted maple and the color, the guitar looks like it's on fire!
