Found a D100C!

[Appalachian Blues]

But honey, it's a GUILD for heavens sake.

That is a beauty D-100. I have a Guild catalog with this guitar in it, without pulling it out of my catalog stash, doesn't George Strait play this model too?

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!!

He did, but his was a Custom Shop deal, I believe.
Check out the edge of the Guild sticked on the inside of this one... its rectangular.
And his is heavily customized, of course.

I still wouldn't mind finding a DV-73 though...

Man o man, I saw a DV 73 once and my knees buckled. So stunning!

Had the pleasure of a DV-73 for a couple of days helping out a fellow LTG-er with a purchase / shipping logistics. I always thought they were too much bling but reconsidered when viewing up close and in hand. Stunning, and amazing sound. Never heard notes ring quite like that.

Just got it in... UPS damaged it... again.

Here are the pics. I despise UPS with all my body.

Oh Dear God.... :x :x

I've shipped numerous guitars without nary a scratch. Man, that bums me out. Sorry, bro....

 

[chazmo]

Oh my god! NEVER again will I ever even consider UPS for a second. THis is just too shocking.

 

[jazzmang]

Luckily I made sure the shipped insured it for $5000. UPS is going to hurt on this one...

...but not as much as I'm hurting.

 

[FNG]

How was it packed? Was the guitar case loose in the box, even a little? Was the headstock packed solid?

 

[jazzmang]

Guitar case was packed well into the box it arrived in.
The headstock had a bit of padding around it, but I definitely would have preferred to see more to keep it solid.

Oh man, what a crime !!!

 

[dapmdave]

Jeez, what a shame!

I hope you are able to successfully negotiate your claim with UPS. I've heard horror stories.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Excuse me while I throw up!! Damn!! I'll never use anyone but USPS again.....ever.

I'm so sorry Jazz, I wish there was something I could do to help. Good luck.

Dang bummer Jazz. Some things just ain't right, and busting up a D100 definitely ain't right...

 

[john_kidder]

My wife just rushed in to the room where I work - "John, what's wrong?" she said, horrified, thinking I was dying - I was groaning about those pictures.

What a truly horrible thing to do to a rare and beautiful guitar. My heart weeps for you.

 

[West R Lee]

They are just so rare, and to find one in great condition and have this happen. Not like shipping a new one and having it broken.

I'd do everything I could to stick UPS for the entire $5000 and I mean it. I'd take all kinds of documentation varifying that it truly is a rare, irreplacable guitar....whatever I had to do. I can't believe I'm saying this.........hire a lawyer, call in the SEALS, the Girl Scouts....whoever....or is it whomever.

Oh Man... I think I'm gonna be sick.

UPS scheduled a damage inspection for Monday.

I put in the notes "Under no circumstances will I allow UPS to touch, ship, or remove my guitar from my residence. I will require that an inspection takes place on-site and I will never allow UPS to touch this guitar again."

 

[jazzmang]

I also wanted to add that I sent some pics and an emailed inquiry to Pat DiBurro. I think I can entrust this repair to him and him only... once UPS pulls through with this claim, that is.

Lets hope for the best!... a fast and satisfactory claim with UPS. I really don't feel like waiting months to get this resolved. I want to play the D100 NOW!
