No it’s from 2022Is that an oldie?
Thanks. Have to school myself more on the tech side. Love playing them but don't touch it otherwise. Just got it back for a good set up and the luthier did a great job on it. I was surprised of how much he lowered the saddle. I knew it was way to high when I bought it but ask myself why Guild sets them up so high. I know hard hitters like the action quite high but those little guitars don't seem to be designed for this.A sunken belly indicates dryness, a bulge indicates mushy.
I should have guessed, seeing the compensated saddle.
You all gave good informations and I did some other researches on the internet. I was a little concerned as the guitar stood for two years in its case and was hardly ever played by the original owner.Rainer, I'm not 100% sure of it, but I think that the tops on Guild acoustics are radiused. I.e., they are not built to be table top flat.
You don't have a problem with your guitar unless there is a bulge (belly) or if it's sinking. And, then, it's really only if it's excessive, as a slight bit of each is completely normal. Essentially it's a question of whether the guitar is stable and stays playable or whether it's getting out of shape.
Guild soundboards were flat (or mostly flat) at one time, hence the term “flat top guitar.”Rainer, I'm not 100% sure of it, but I think that the tops on Guild acoustics are radiused. I.e., they are not built to be table top flat.
...So my M20 can live its life on a stand and I can pick up easily without even leaving my comfortable armchair
