What guitar would cause you to trade in your Guild?

[tjmangum]

I guess I would trade one (maybe two) of my Guilds for this one

Not because of the price, but for what it is and who owned it.

Not me! I'd feel I would need to buy it some flowers and take it out for a fancy steak dinner before I could touch it. I like my guitars simple and dirty. Those don't judge me. :mrgreen:

Problem with trade-ins is my Guilds are worth more to me than they are to a dealer.

There's two sides to that coin. Makes buying a used Guild a bargain, however, hurts you if you're trading in a Guild for another guitar.

So, the best course of action is to keep the Guild and simply buy another one outright. However, since my funds are extremely tight right now, that is not an option for me.

That said, I dropped off my recently purchased '81 D25 at my local luthier for a setup. The shop has a pretty good inventory of new Guilds, Gibsons and Martins. Spend an hour playing some 20 guitars. I REALLY want a Martin D18GE. All I can say is WOW..... However, unless I can sell my wife's Civic to pay for it (she can walk, no?), it remains an elusive dream. Went home and still enjoyed my Tacoma D50 with the Martin SP strings.......

I realise this thread is about acoustics...but I'd consider trading one of my X175's for a nice twin pickup Gibson ES350 - though not my '62, that's not going anywhere.

Hey, the "trigger" reference also works for Willie Nelson's guitar... I wonder if Willie named it after the horse.

 

[bluesypicky]

Been there and done that with other brands; five Martins and three Taylors. The infatuation wore off and I'm back to Guilds only in the corral. All prejudice aside, to me they just play better and provide the sound I expect fom a premium acoustic. At this point, I'm not even tempted anymore...

I agree with that too....
I am down to a couple of "non Guild" acoustics, and with maybe the exception of the Dove, I could survive much easier without any of them, as opposed to without ANY of my Guilds.....
When you hit the end of the rainbow........ :wink:

Them's fightin' words Pascal! If you ever decide to part with that little LG1 then you let me know.

Good eye Ridge! the 'Little Guitar'.........THATS the one I'm most curious about myself! and from '67!
Then again......I have the F20 to cuddle, and sate my LG curiosities!! Hanging tight to the Guilds............ :wink:

Guys, guys...... I said I could survive easier without them, not that was up to the challenge yet!!!! Fightin' words allright.....:lol:

I like Guild guitars a lot (obviously), but I realize that they're not the only guitar maker out there. I own some non-Guilds that I love too; I just don't get into them much on this forum. That's not why we're all here.

Hey Sandy,

I know how you feel, I've got an ovation. and a breedlove, surely 2 of the most unloved of all on most forums ?

 

[southernGuild]

:lol: No covetous eye from me Bluesy..........My little F20 keeps me well, content and happy!
Whats that Leonard Cohen line......."I only that said I was curious....I never said that I was Brave!" :lol:
.and TRUE Sandy.........some GREAT guitars out there, with various headstocks.....I'd love to try a few more often. .all in the name of RESEARCH! :wink:

I think that there's a lot of nice guitars made by a lot of different people. To me, there's only two kinds of guitars; good ones and bad ones. I like the good ones, and the thing that I like most about Guilds is their consistency relative to certain "other" makes, and overall bang for the buck.

This is why my user name is Taylor Martin Guild.
I love them all.
I just can't afford them all.
