Hello Everyone! Thanks for letting me join. I was told to share some photos and the story of my uncles guitar. I’m wondering if people can provide any insight to a guitar that my recently passed uncle had. Here is what I knew from him….
My uncle was a wonderful musician and loved his guitars. One of his guitars was this Guild. What I know from him is that he purchased this guitar back in 1984 from a French guitar shop in Minneapolis. At this shop, he often visited with another upcoming musician, Prince Nelson…aka Prince. One day when he was in the store, Prince had custom ordered 20 different colors. This color he did not want and gave it to my uncle. My uncle has owned this guitar ever since then! I’m not sure if this was a production color that year for this model or not….
Unfortunately, my uncle played it for years back in the 80’s and it took quite a beating. However, I’m not sure if it’s worth trying to restore or just keep all original!
Any insight or info you may have on this guitar would be appreciated! I also know the case is not correct, but I have a few others. Would the case day Guild?
