Beauty! But check out that break angle, should probably figure in the price of a neck reset...

Missed that Pike, but I'll bet she sings real purdy........ :wink: Steffan

 

[Pike]

Maybe Steffan, but the frets have been leveled also, and does that bridge look thin? I'd be careful with this one.

Probably needs a bit of work, but that guitar looks loved, lived in, and taken care of from the historic early days of Guild...Sure wish I still had my 65 D50 braz. Ordered sight unseen at the time, and I've never been less disappointed in any purchase since.....It was stunning... Steffan

 

[Pike]

I hear you there Steffan.

Pike, I traded it for a D40 and cash to another musician friend of mine who 'had' to have it......man, if I took a close look in the mirror, I could have seen what dumb really looked like... :wink: Steffan, and thinking about it...it was in 65 when I got it...so it might have even been a 64 model.

 

[Pike]

Oh well, we've all done something like that. Wish I still had my '69 AMX, like this one except with the high performance 390. Do you still have the D40?

No, long gone, but my current guitars include 77 F50R and 80 F512 R, a Corona all mahogany D25, a 74 F112, and possibly a Corona D40, before too long. I had 2 guilds when I joined this forum...I'm also a sucker for the Larrivees, and played a 12 string not long ago...lovely in every way. I guess this is a description of my retirement plan. :lol: :lol: Steffan

Steffan - come to Arlington this year and you can have a play on my D35 - so long as it survives American Airlines :mrgreen:
