Users of Guilds......who's who

The reason I'm mentioning it is because the guitarist is playing an interesting Guild. I'm not sure what it is.

Hello jmac,

Looks like a '64-'65 Guild X-50B.

Sincerely,

I'm pretty darn sure there's a picture of a receipt from Mannny's Music for a 12 string for Mr. J. Hendrix in Hans's book. Also a picture of Peter Tork with something like an F-30 in a Monkees biography (I didn't have the heart to cut it out of a public library volume), and Johnny Rzeznik of Google Dolls. Is Taj Mahal on that list?

Hey jmac, thanks for that link - since I have the same guitar, that is very cool!

And, to add to the list, the current issue of Rolling Stone (Beatles on the cover) has a photo of David Bowie during his "Hunky Dory" days, playing what certainly looks like a Guild 12 string. No photo in the on-line version of the magazine, though.

Here's another - probably flying under the radar. Emerson Drive is a Canadian country group - but get this, the first EVER to get a #1 country hit in the U.S. Go Canukistans.

The guitar player on the far right is playing .... yes a lovely Guild.

And let's not forget Phoebe Buffay, playing (presumably) a D-4...

All together now, Campers...

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
It's not your fault

They won't take you to the vet
You're obviously not their favorite pet
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault

You may not be a bed of roses
You're not friend to those with noses
I'll miss you before we're done
Or the world will smell as one

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
It's not your fault

(Phoebe) Oh are we done?

One, two, what's that smell?

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
You're getting fat

I think that I'm gonna be sick
It's your ears, and nose and pick
Part of it, tempt me

One, two, what's that smell?

All the dogs in the neighborhood
Are saying this for your own good
What, you're fat, so you can't run
No fun, I bet, No fun

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
Porno makes you eat like that
I saw you in the shopping mall

Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault,
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault

We know what was in your food
They say it might affect your mood

You smell like something dead (3x)

One, two, what's that smell? 8)

And apparently Chrissie Hynde used one too playing the same song. Or trying to learn the song, that is.

Christian Rock band "Building 429" uses a black Guild Jumbo.

Oh and of course, Ryan Adam's beautiful Guild D25M.
Sounds really good in this clip:

Alexis Korner was the guy who gave Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce their start in music, a whole bunch of years ago! 8)

Haven't seen Sting on any of the lists, for his Paloma.
