Were these ever on Guilds? I've seen these only on Hofners.

Hello Darryl,

To the best of my knowledge these were never used on Guild guitars. It's the same maker though, but I guess you had already figured that out!

Sincerely,

Hans Moust

Thanks Hans. Since they weren't on Guilds, maybe a Hofner collector could use them.

Hey Darryl,
Those are really neat!
They look almost like singular classical tuners,but probably aren't.
Thanks for putting them up!

Saucy,

Thanks for putting up with me.

Is the Trident restaurant still there in Sausalito?

 

[sausgirl]

Well...
The building is still there with nice remodel.
But alas...it is called "Horizons"
But you date both of us calling it "Trident".
And for those of you who don't know,it was owned by the Kingston Trio!
Here is a little link.
Take care Darryl,
Jan a.k.a. Saucy!

Sausy,

Thanks for the link.

I had no idea that the Trident was such a landmark. It sounds like the Trident is the Cliff House of Sausalito.

The Trident is as old now as the Columbus Tower was then. I can't imagine any of the cats on this forum are square enough to dig the Kingstons. I can't imagine Frank Werber in Silver City, NM, either. There's a nifty Indian ruin there. But come to think of it, the town is a ruin too.

About ten years ago, I sat in front of the Trident on a bench with an old friend from the 1960s. So naturally we sang Paul Simon's "Old Friends."

"Old friends
Sat on a park bench like book ends.....
Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange to be seventy."

I have eleven more years to go.
