That's an F-512; appears to be a Tacoma crafted model. Darn nice post retropicker. Welcome aboard...

The guy who isn't Coastie is John Fahey:
Said to have broken his pre-war Gibson-built, Montgomery Wards-badged Recording King over a lover's head in a bout of ... uh ... exuberance. Before repairs:
... and after:
Early work: "Dream Of The Origin Of The French Broad River"
Later work: "Poor Boy"
Thanks Scratch. If I were considering an acoustic purchase, the F-512 one would be #1 on my list!Scratch said:That's an F-512; appears to be a Tacoma crafted model.fab467 said:That Guild 12er is really sweet sounding. 8) Excuse my ignorance but can someone identify the model?Retropicker said:Current hero is Rich Robinson since I play alot in open G.

You're welcome RP. Fahey had his demons but in a twist, some of his finest work is on his two Christmas albums; straightforward ... like him ... and reverential ... maybe not so much.Retropicker said:Thanks for this post. I've been a banjo picker and am now moving into guitar finger picking on this fine Guild I've inherited. I'm purchasing some Sr. Fahey's music as I type and uploading to the Amazon "cloud" for kicks.
