This is one fancy dress!After years of searchin - FINALLY - someone posted me the right picture - and included data of magazin & # & year. Now I can start the search for better picture - should not be too hard, since that magazine is not super rare over here.
Ladies & Gentlemen - other fellows may enter, too - HARPO ( hit song "Movie Star" ) - playing my 1977 F512 Guild sitting on the sofa at my then workplace - Finnvox Recording Studios.
EDIT - its is not THE picture I was searching - but taken in same session. This picture was published in Jan 1981 - Harpo is telling that he is leaving music business and is going to concentrate on horses. But now it should be fairly easy to find the right picture.
Don't have the where-with-all to find and copy it, but The Boston Globe today had an older picture of
Archbishop Desmond Tutu with a group of young people sitting behind him, and very close to his right
side is the Chesterfield-headstock to a Guild very present...subscript said it was a Globe file photo.
Found it!I love the center fold advertisement from the Johnny Smith Guitar Method. I will dig and post it when I locate it.
Walrus, that is too cool!
I'm a huge Van Morrison fan... of his music. He's kind of a dick, but that's not my problem... it's his.
What model is that Guild?Dave Snaker RayPlayed a Martin 12 string on Koerner, Ray and Glover,
From what I can see in the photos I would say a blonde Guild X-500 from halfway the '60s with a few parts changed.What model is that Guild?
To add to the collection, here's a screen shot of Jimmy Wyble from the 1960 film "Oceans 11".Guild endorser Jimmy Wyble. I like how for the ad slick, Guild used the photo from Jimmy's album and photoshopped in the harp tailpiece. They must have given him a new guitar for the Benny Goodman/Red Norvo ad (you can see the engraving on the harp tail).
