Who Recently Bought the 1971 Sunburst X-500 From GC?

[alltruenews]

I know that this is a long shot, but I would love to connect with the lucky person who bought my sunburst Guild X-500 from the Danvers, MA Guitar Center.

It was listed for $2,000 (a steal in my opinion.)

I'm thinking that a new purchase like that might cause you to join this forum. I'd love to be able to give you the details of it's history!

I will be able to bring the new owner up to speed on such a great guitar.

Thank you Larry!

No problem Jon - hope you and Mike have had a chance to connect by now. I am as interested as Mike is to find out your stories on his new guitar.

(My first post - just received credentials).

To everyone else, Mike is a friend of mine, my instructor, and a professional player who covers many genres. He had been telling me about this X-500 he was looking at. Long story short, I saw Jon's thread, put two and two together, and there you go.

Can you 'Guilders" believe this?

Yes all, I spoke with the buyer via email and we've had several exchanges. I will leave his name out as this is private info.

Let's just say that I couldn't have asked for a better person to end up with that fantastic guitar.

The new owner has had some minor adjustments done and he's loving the guitar!

Larry, you're the best!

The X-500 had been in my family since 1978. It was bought by my older brother in an estate sale for $500.

It was his main guitar all through Berklee and beyond. I'd always loved it, but I was way to young to have such a fine guitar.

As the years went by and my brother's style of play moved into a more acoustic direction, he gave me the Guild. I played it for quite a while, but it was not the best platform for the style of blues I currently play so (after much careful thought) I traded it for an American Standard Tele. I love the Tele, but it's not an archtop.

Jon - I don't know about being the best, but I do like helping people network. My friend just sold a hollowbody PRS (extra thick body, kind of a limited carve) to another friend of mine. I put them together and the deal was done in an hour or so.

I will maybe have a chance to hear and play your guitar this weekend. I've heard some recordings that have already been made with it, and it sounds great!
