Tom and Dave, I just received a phone call from twocorgis to let me know there was a thread about this great old guitar. So, of course, I needed to check to see how its restoration is coming along.
Wow, it's been six years, Tom? Just seems like yesterday I met the fellow outside of Austin and brought the old beat-up, sad Mark VI home to send onto Tom. During the negotiations, I was in phone contact with Tom to make sure I paid what was a 'fair' price for such a rare Guild.....in such bad condition. Before Guild was sold to Cordoba, I remember Tom was talking to them about getting some of their old Brazilian rosewood for the repair work. Can't wait to find-out how that went. Can't wait to see the 'new' old Mark VI.
P.S. Thanks, Sandy, for letting me know about this thread. :happy:
Toni, we were never able to source a piece of Brazilian from Guild.
