Three vintage Guilds in a Row..

LateStart · Oct 17, 2015

Fast pass through a local guitar shop. If anyone wants/needs more info, I can stop by again later in the week. One more not pictured, GV52 (I think)?

Holy CRAP!! Not many of us get that kind of selection, Late. Thanks for sharing. I .... I have too many guitars that I don't play enough.

Does that sound like a really feeble excuse?

Yeah... to me too....

That is totally lame. You can never have too many guitars

D30Man · Oct 18, 2015

Man that jumbo looks deeeelish... I tend to think you cant have too many, but my wife and my bank account would argue with me on that one.. Also a huge fan of the x-175 Manhattans.... I have only had the pleasure of playing the newer ones though.. Out of curiosity Richard, what are they asking on these? Hard to read the price tags

richardp69 · Oct 18, 2015

Hey there Mark. That's not my original post so I'm not sure what's on the price tags. On a side note, I hear ya brother, wives tend to be like that. Now dogs on the other hand just don't give a damn. So.......I like dogs.

LateStart, if the other one you're referring to is a GV 52, and if you happen to get near the store again, I'd be interested to know what they're asking. If not, no worries.

I think gv52 was $1400. Didn't check closely condition. Was in the store 10 minutes. But it is close to my home, maybe 3 miles.

Oh oh, San Francisco prices.

So if you already don't play 'em enough, then one more'll lower the average the not played time on each one, right?

Yeah, you keep the wear and tear down, when you spread it around. AND, that should play out favorably in the long run.:encouragement:

Honey, I need more guitars so the ones I have now don't wear out.

That line will never fly in this house.

Al, this is very devious reasoning on your part. Of course, I'd expect no less from you. And I swallowed it whole, without even a hesitation!! :encouragement:

Why does that shop not correct the upside down TRCs ???

"The reason Guilds are always undervalued is that they always mounted the TRC's upside down as shown on that X-175."

The dreadnought appears to be a G-37, priced at a very reasonable $800.

Br1ck;

I can drop them off to you. You can say that your guitars need to 'huddle' for warmth during the winter...

bobouz · Oct 20, 2015

That trio reminds me a lot of my own modest Guild collection:

>>> JF-30 & G-37, but substitute in a new A-150 Savoy.

Can't get much better than having three blondes!

Update - Image Heavy & Pricing

Update: Stopped by the store again today, here is a full set of images and prices. All looked in good condition. I *think* these might be consignment from a single owner.
