Belated NGD post: 2007 iced tea burst F30

[AMFM]

i had to join after reading this thread. I bought a F30 in 2007. Love this guitar. Played it for a while, then got a 64 Gibson B25, now back on the Guild. Anyway, i think these Tacomas were built SO well. Featherweight, big sound, detail, $$.... amazing. I have been shopping for J-45/J-50 for a while now. In fact just yesterday played every one of them in NYC. made me realize that the guild is certainly a special guitar. I don't need that gibson.
If you find one of these Tacomas buy it (if its a good one!). I have played the one that John Reynolds had a Golden Age.... that is the guitar you're talking about in this thread, right? It was there for a long time...years, and no one bought it. I couldn't believe it!

Welcome, AMFM . . . the short explanation is that you need to host photos elsewhere (photobucket, etc.) & copy the photo links to your LTG post.

The guitar of course is very cool. I love the wine collection as well. Congrats!!!!

Yes, this is the one that was at Golden Age Fretted Instruments for a couple of years. I was obesesed by the guitar's beauty but dithered (in part because I thought I wanted an F30R, not a mahogany-backed guitar). While I was dithering, another forumite bought it. But when he decided to move it on (after lauding its virtues), I pounced.

It really is special. I played it today as the opening act at a "music festival" (really a glorified house party). It sounds really nice in open D. Well, it sounds really nice in every tuning I've tried, but that's what I was playing today.

(That's my New Hartford D50 Standard behind me).
