Guild 1953-2023 - 70th Anniversay!! Your wishes please!

[adorshki]

Have you ever posted pics of your F312 BRW?

@HeyMikey : Re-runs are always good.

I want a flat-back version of the F5ce with a 1-11/16 nut. It's already got the 24-3/4 scale full 24-fret neck and rosewood body, but with an arched back.

My unicorn.

Might have to go treasure hunting in the Twilight Zone first, though. Find those dern 16" body bucks.

For me a krysh custom M-75 hollow Bluesbird in Sunset orange with soundpost, HB-1s, black hardware, G-shield tapered headstock and ebony fretboard with triangle blocks and pinstripes, please.

S70 and s300 reissue!!

 

[chazmo]

F-112 but with a short scale. Rosewood back and sides could be nice too. Adi top.

' Strang

Or, how about a 12-fretter version (i.e., 12 frets to the neck)?

Fun to play this game. Y'know as much as some folks are bitching about the GSR-du-jour thing coming out of Oxnard now, it sort of gives us a chance to see a bunch of models that never were and judge them. Here's one for me; how about a solid mahogany D 12string with either short scale or 12-fretter?

I did, but apparently only a few pics however in this thread.

NGD - New Grail Day

NDG 1969/70 F312 I picked up this grail guitar a couple of months ago, luckily before I was laid off! It has a late 1969 Hobo label but according to Hans was completed in 1970 at Westerly. It needed work and has concerns but I worked out a fair price with the seller and immediately sent it...

The F212 and F312 is such a nice size for those who can’t play a 17” jumbo but still want some low end to go with that Guild sparkle. Bring ‘em back!

I said in a thread maybe last year that I would love to see Guild license older designs to some private luthiers as sort of a virtual custom shop. Made to Guild spec but also allowed certain custom embellishments. They would be branded and serialized Guilds, but would also have the luthier’s signature. Think of the possibilities!

I'd like to see that!

'By "solid mahogany" do you mean "all hog" or "all solid wood"?

If you meant "all 'hog", flatback or archback?

And oh yeah, what kind of strings?

Free Let's Talk Guild Forum Member T-shirts!

I mean, if Epiphone can have one, Guild ought to, too!

Don't forget, to be authentic, the Guild ones have to made in fluorescent chartreuse.
Otherwise member @bluesypicky can't use it for safety when biking.

<veer>There were some shirts in the pre-GAD days. I suspect if someone came up with a design and identified a print on demand vendor @GAD would allow them to be advertised on LTG with some kind of "official" endorsement. But the "free" is the hard part.

I would definitely buy LTG merch, and not just T-shirts. Mugs, hats, etc., with all profits going towards the site.

As an aside, instead of S, M, L, XL, the sizes should be F112, F212, F512 and F612.

 

[chazmo]

Regarding merchandise... We had to be careful with copyrights in years past. Just FYI.

I just found what I want for the anniversary model.

Since Yamaha is TNB - The New Boss - and it seems that Variax belongs to them - sooo . . . .

My choice : S-300 w latest Variax electronics
