Unlike all these Taylor owners, like on the country music show someone had mentioned. Seems everybody owns a Taylor, and as a result, they all look alike, sound alike, and there is no individual personality. Open a guitar case, and it's another Taylor.

Not so when there is a Guild dreadnought under the lid . . . I get gasps and oohs and ahhs whenever I open my guitar case, and that beautifully aged top, the silky waves in the grain, the "Guild" headstock which adorns the upper end really impresses everyone that sees it. I just sit back and let the instrument speak for itself.

And then I respectfully and carefully pull the D-50 out of its case, and strum a nice "D" chord, and eyebrows go up, and I get stuff like, "Wow"! "What a sound . . .!"

Sum - thin' special about a Guild player . . . . We march to a different beat, across the grain, and can hold our heads high!

There is a group of old men that having been playing gospel and bluegrass together around here for many years. 3 or 4 years ago they decided to host sort of an open mike jam at the local Books a Million. I was invited to join the group a few times. I used to get tickled when I would occasionally look around the room and see the looks on these guys faces. A few almost looked ticked off that someone would have the nerve to bring anything but a Martin to one of these. One or two would become noticably agitated when the D55 would drown out the Martins. :twisted:, but most became really intrigued.

Didn't want to give away West' secret, but folks, he's a midget.

















That's right, poor West is only 6' 3". Please don't judge him harshly because of his lack of stature!
