Let me start this stringer of our collective thoughts off by saying that the truth can possibly be stranger than fiction sometimes.....but where the odds are is what we usually end up with as being the truth we live with.
Question: Would someone who claims to know all about fine guitars normally:
1. Miss the correct year of manufacture - Guild serial numbers by year lists on the web and the neck block date stamp itself - advertise it as a '98, when it is really a 2000?
(What year did Fender buy Guild??)
2. Mis-advertise the guitar's year of manufacture and sell the guitar on E-
Bay?
3. knowingly, only de-tune medimum strings on a Westerly Guild D-55 one step down from 440 standard (3/4s of a turn of the tuning pegs) for shipping and send it priority U.S. mail that most likely will include time spent in an unpressurized cargo hold of a plane at altitude and low temeratures in a custom -raised arch Guild hard shell case and outer card board box to a buyer??
Hans & company.....I really need you thoughts on this one.....
