We had a thread somewhere with info like this, maybe I'll look for it.

SRV playing the F412. Love this clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZkLVinwR4E

Slash and Izzy Stradlin used Guild dreadnoughts in their G'nR years.

I'll let you to you experts the identification of the exact model:

P.S. This is the video that made me know Guild. The sound is fantastic.

 

[Nigel Wickwire]

your list is missing one of the best -- pete townshend, ( behind srv, maybe)


I'll see if I can scare up a video.

Edit: here's one now. Kind of a different arrangement of this song, but you can clearly see the Guild F-?12.

No sense re-inventing the wheel... may as well just add to this one, which includes a slew of photos:

One of my favorite artists: Ryan Adams, formerly of Whiskeytown. A very respected songwriter, lately with his new band The Cardinals. He plays a '74 D25, which so inspired me that I sought out and found my own 70's circa D25. Obviously, we both have great taste in guitars!

Mark Farner, DV-52

Gotta tell the story again. Passing through Lansing, radio station had Mark Farner in the studio, he played a few songs on an acoustic, then they had a call in segment. I got though and asked Mark "Do you still play any Guilds?" He said "You've got good ears, I'm playing my Guild here in the studio today, it's a DV-52."

Slash also uses a double neck crossroads.

And look Chicagowineguy, it's Brian Adams from This LTG Thread from some time ago.

And look Nigel, it's Pete Townshend from This LTG Thread from some time ago.

And look wily fool; it's George Benson and Zal Yarnovsky from This LTG Thread from some time ago.

Thanks One Wily for bringing the subject up again and I don't blame anybody for not wanting to pound through 3 years worth of threads, posts, dumbo yackety yack but it ought not to come as a surprise to you but this crowd pretty much already knows most of the artists who use/have been pictured holding Guild guitars ... and actually went to the trouble to compile a list.

So if you or anybody else has someone who has been overlooked, how about adding them to This LTG Thread from some time ago so all the effort to put together a composite thread isn't wasted and we don't have to read about the same artists as if it were fresh news .... because ... well ... a lot of it isn't. J

Si; same for something to preserve the amp schematics and, at one time, FungusAmongUs (?) had thread going where he was tracking physical dimensions and binding details by model ... someplace to get an answer to: "how wide is the lower bout on a D-something...?" Could be done as a 'Sticky' but the host site / software doesn't have an FTP function; how come everything is linked ... files can't 'live' here. And I thought I remember Frono talking about this too ... since he actually knows something about it ... but it would be a good idea. J

Don't forget about John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, he plays Guild. Just watched him last night in a concert, he brings out his Guild for the better acoustic songs like Iris.
