I dunno, but ya better not ask himI wonder if he was the guy who made sure the action was too high on the student M20 builds?

Al , their always making improvements such as moving the battery packs to the back to improve balance . That’s all I’m saying on the topic .
If you’re trying to sell to people who cannot hold the guitar in their hands, you gotta be transparent and make potential customers confident in what they are getting. I don’t get this attitude. And arguing that 3/16” action should be perfectly acceptable to anyone is just crazy.And then I added, on Reverb - Good thing I requested (correctly, as it turns out) a remeasurement.
Do you treat everyone who asks a question like this?
Fwiw, my ‘76 G37 has a one-piece mahogany neck & is an absolute tanker. Regardless, it has that lovely piano-like quality that many G-37s seem to have.My '72 G37 is extremely light, much lighter than even a '78 G37. May be because the '72 has a mahogany neck and the '78 is 3 piece maple.
You'll have to ask Steely Dan.Battery packs on the back . . .
Is THAT what Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland is all about ?
Not sure but worth a giggleBattery packs on the back . . .

Honestly I think you guys need a nice glass of wine and perhaps a NGD (from another seller).If you’re trying to sell to people who cannot hold the guitar in their hands, you gotta be transparent and make potential customers confident in what they are getting.

I’m seriously considering keeping this one.Honestly I think you guys need a nice glass of wine and perhaps a NGD (from another seller).
... In '84 George Gruhn was asked to revamp the dreadnoughts and F-bodies and those guitars began a progressive lightening again, through end of Westerly in '01, though I've read of heavy guitars being built in early '90's...."
In 5 years it'll appreciate and at least catch up, giving you free rent.I’m seriously considering keeping this one.
Like all my Guilds, I will soon cost me more than it’s worth, but it’ll play and sound great and make me happy for years.
I'm not sure it will be worth $2,000 in 10 years, but if I keep it that long, I'm sure it will just cost me a few pennies per song. A great deal indeed!In 5 years it'll appreciate and at least catch up, giving you free rent.
That one is a '74, so just an oz heavier than my arch-back '74 D-25.One of the G37’s says it weighs in 5 lbs 5oz . Not sure if anyone seen the weights ?
You want less weight then that right ? Where are you at on what to get ? I might of missed the final choice or is it still in discussion ?That one is a '74, so just an oz heavier than my arch-back '74 D-25.

Probably about right for an older Guild but my dreads from other makers are all under 5 lbs. one is under 4.Wow, is 5.4 pounds heavy to most? I don’t think much about it. My D46 feels like a heavy guitar compared to my D25, but they both weigh the same, 5.4 lbs. My Les Paul @9.4 lbs is my heaviest guitar, followed by my ultra luxe Strat at 8.8, which also has an ash body. Heck even my NS SF4 is 8 lbs, so a 5 lb acoustic is a featherweight lol.
5 lbs is not heavy for a an hour or so, but after 3 hours (practice length), I feel it. But it's the weight combined with the way my right arm is out over the guitar. My 7.5 lb Les Paul shaped "Firebrand" is less taxing, despite being heavier.Wow, is 5.4 pounds heavy to most? I don’t think much about it.

I have until tomorrow (Friday) to send it back. Unless I learn something new about it between now and then, I'll be keeping it. I love the burst, the neck angle is great, neck feels good, sounds great, so I think it's a keeper. So now I still have an excuse for my next one!You want less weight then that right ?
