I just couldn't help it! LOL!
The "Wayfaring F50r" that I got from Neal awhile ago is such a great sounding and playing guitar that it has quickly become my favorite!
And I have SO much fun playing it on stage and at home, but I guess I kinda goofed up by having Kris Kristofferson sign it! LOL!
I'm sort of reluctant to take it to some of the places I play now! Not that I play bad places...but accidents CAN happen. And before, it was just a nice players-grade Guild Jumbo...but now that it's signed by a celeb, someone MIGHT have designs on it! My friends think I'm too trusting (I mean, like, really, who's going to steal from ME?) but I AM in L.A.
It won't stop me from playing it, but it'll just make me a bit more careful and selective where I take it! (And I haven't had the signature "sealed" yet, because I don't want to affect the tone!)
I will still play it a lot...but I've been sort of looking around for another one to knock around with (which was the original intent for the Wayfarer). So I found another 2005 Tacoma-built F50R...made a couple of months before mine...on Reverb. AND, (to reference another posting) it has the Guild G Shield and Logo in the lower, Westerly, position, which I really like. And the sunburst looks nice.
I watched it for quite awhile and made 3 or 4 offers on it. (At some point in its' life, it spent time on some sort of hanger...either a stand or wall hanger...and whatever material the hanger was made from, reacted badly with the finish on either side of the headstock, and that's a concern). We finally reached a deal today. It's all the way across the country in GA, so it'll take awhile to get here.
Fingers crossed...the waiting begins!
