What to do?

[Mykal!]

Hi again,

Another guitar has entered the equation. I now have concerns about the necks on the CV models and do not the relish the possibility of re-set in future years. I am considering a Guild F47M Blonde. One problem is the fact that it is at the very top end of my budget and it is located some 200 miles away (that's a long way in the UK). Diesel fuel costs about $8 per gallon in the UK and it would cost me about eight gallons to see, and possibly buy, the guitar.

I have seen a couple of threads about this guitar and they do appear to be favourable. Does anybody have any comments about the model?

Once again, many thanks for your help and interest.

Michael

A quick response to Jerry R. I live between Leeds and York and you're right, Guilds are very hard to come buy and opportunities to make comparisons are virtually non-existent. I will definitely have to cross the Penines to find a suitable guitar. Sadly, Music Ground in Leeds has little to offer other than guitars that are way out of my price range or just not what I want i.e lots of Corts, Tanglewoods et al.

Many thanks for your help

Michael

hard to tell michael,
but the f-47m also might be a lifetime guitar. so this trip might be worth it, if it is no gad f-47.

Second that. Call 'em and make sure before you go. I have nothing against GADs but I don't think they'll be "lifetime" instruments as Krysh is saying.

I will check, but as far I know it is an American made guitar and not a GAD. I may be ging tomorrow, but I will ring first and find out.

Cheers

Michael
