So idk if you guys are familiar with the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) that's out here in north phx/scottsdale area. But I went the other day and it was pretty awesome. We got there at noon and they close at 5pm, wish I would have got there earlier. Its easily an all day affair, maybe 2. But after seeing all the displays from the Estates of different musicians, instruments from every culture and country. Martin&Co. had quite a bit of real estate scattered throughout, but there were guitars from all over as as far back as the first ever known stringed instrument. But what I found disappointing is that I found only 1 single Guild, no real back story or company accomplishments. Just a single guild hung on display in the country/bluegrass section. I'm not sure what model it was. I was thinking maybe one of you guys had em all. but So with them being known for building such prestigious instruments why isnt there a broader following? You cant find em in any sam ash, but I've seen 1 12 string in a guitar center but nothing more. Is it the price tag that turns folks away or what?. I would have thought they would have their own booth there cuz there was a ton of Martin&Co, fender, Rickenbacker, and Gibson.
