Re: What inspired you to play Guilds?
In the spring of 1976, I was living in the mountains above Taos Ski Valley, NM. The ski season was winding down and it was a gorgeous New Mexico morning, so a day trip to Santa Fe seemed like a good idea.
While my housemate went in one direction to do her thing, I discovered a small music store one block off the square, so I stepped inside.
Of all the guitars hanging on the wall, the ONE that really caught my eye was a brand new D35. I asked the owner if I could give it a test drive and he obliged. It didn't take very long for me to fall in love with the sound coming out of that guitar! As fate would have it, I just happened to have enough money to walk out of the store with my first Guild.
My housemate found me sitting on a bench on the square, bonding with THE Guild that started this madness. 8)
That's the short version,
Joe
