I scored this beautiful guitar today without pulling out a penny from my pocket. I bought a nice Taylor from this shop two days ago. Saw this being played by a gentleman he just did not want to put that thing down. I don’t blame him sounds beautiful, plugged into the amp, just a really nice guitar with lots of vibe to it maple back sides, beautiful and lays on the Ebony Fred board. I loaded up my jeep with my electric gear and my pedal board and came home with this beauty.

Very nice congrats! From what I gather you traded your electric gear for this classic beauty? I bet your Taylor is going to become a just a little bit jealous 😎

Thanks guys I love it it is just so awesome. Just a beautiful cannon. Lots of vibe to it. They were very very happy to get everything. The guy actually said stop stop you have too much stuff lol I actually need to take my Egnater Tweaker to the guy on Tuesday

Guitar galactica in Aberdeen Washington. These guys are great check out everything that they have. It is all really cool stuff.

lots of really nice pictures of the guitar there as well

now I can just find a excellent condition. SWR, strawberry blonde made in Sun Valley or Sylmar.

Wow, major congrats! Those don't come up that often in sunburst with the bling.... If there's one more Guild I need, it's that one! Even though I rarely play 6-string.... 😎

Steve W. Rabe amps, made first in Sylmar and later in Sun Valley before they were sold to FMIC in 2003.


"Strawberry Blonde" made in Sun Valley:

The other version is called "California Blonde".

Yep there it is Sun Valley, California I grew up in Burbank. It was a probably less than a half hour motorcycle ride to their little factory. They went from there to Sylmar and from Sylmar to south of the border.

There are two California blondes within 100 miles from me here in excellent condition, but I had one, and I just did not like it as much as the Strawberry
