New Owner of a Guild BB

Great quilt top on that one!

Thanks bud!

I don't know of any US-made guild that used a veneer.

I wasn’t sure at first but when I pulled out the pups I couldn’t see any telltale signs of a veneer top, amazing amazing quality woods and craftsmanship on this. I’m really surprised they’re not more sought after.

Shh - that’s the secret of Guild!

I like where this is going, will keep that secret with me, and keep my eyes open for more to start a familia

Wow! That is a nice top on your guitar as well! Like GAD said, Bluesbirds have solid maple tops and rosewood fretboards. Here are a few of the relevant pages from the 2002 Fender Frontline catalog for your information (thanks to @GAD for scanning and sharing on his personal site).

Thank you so much! All the info I wanted is there, one more thing I’m curious about, is it a 12” radius? Do you know?
Again, Thanks!

My Corona Bluesbirds both measure a radius of 12"

Right on! I’m a major BluesBird fanboy and have gigged them for a decade. Tone variety monsters and like butter to play. Corona Bluesbirds are the sleeper guitars of all time. Glad you got one.

Yes sir! Definitely a sleeper and a tone monster! Perfect weight and balance. A real winner for sure
