And you can visit us when you make the delivery, in person, by car.

That seems fair.

Here is a lovely playing of the Guild X-700 Stuart Benedetto. Enjoy!

Sweet!!! I really like that position where the sound is the brightest although that player could make each of them sound spectacular. Congrats Rich!!!

 

[Rich Cohen]

Right Rich...that's the bridge pup where it's the brightest. But that neck pup is really creamy. The balance between the three positions is so accurate and distinctive.

He's playing through a reissue '63 Vibroverb amp which sounds great. I have one, but I don't think I've played any of my Guilds through it (I usually go for Voxy or blackface Fender with them for some reason). I'll have to give it a try, but there's no way in hell I can play like that guy.

He is so focused. I think if you study his technique you may acquire some new chords and styles. Try it! Wow. Vibroverb amps are expensive, even the reissues!

That is pretty darn sweet.

What a quality Guild and did I get a hint that you have practiced this players style and you have mastered some of his chords? He is one versatile playet!

Is the guitar in route to Charlottesville, arrived, or has not been sent?

 

[Rich Cohen]

Shelby, I am nowhere near the level of Tobias, the player. I spoke with Kansas City Vintage Guitars today, and they are sending it out tomorrow! As far as quality Guild is concerned, it is exceeded by no other Guild archtop...of course that's not an objective comment.

Well, there’s always the Artist Award.

GAD you went and did it. You reminded me of the 1967 AA Burst, with the white DeArmond 1000 pup I had for a brief spell, for which I have fond memories and boat loads of seller's remorse. You deserve Sully!

 

[gilded]

Hey, what the scale length on the X-700?

Is that a blessing or a curse? LOL.

I have an '88 AA which is probably the redheaded stepchild of the AAs, and just an amazing guitar all around. I'd love to get my hands on a Benedetto AA and 700 since I have an '88 AA and a '92 (I think) 700.

Dog lovers like us (we have two) are blessedly cursed!

You got that right. Our Jymy The Lab took us out for a walk today. Hales. 3/8 HALES. They were bouncing off his back and hammering our raincoat and umbrella. Talking about summer around the corner.

So, do we know the scale-length of this guitar?

Harry, my '94 is 24.75" with a 1.75" nut -- not sure if the Benedetto redesign is different.

 

[gilded]

I think it might be different, young sir!
