thank you for clarifying, did not realize.

The 12 fret 12 string 000 Orpheum looks like a Wee Little Baby next to the jumbos. It could almost pass as the young offspring of the F50R and F512, LOL!

Very impressive. I don't usually believe in conspiracy theories, but I may invent my own, in that John Denver is still alive.

Amazing collection.
Thanks so much for posting those great photos!

That is funny right there, LOL!

Thanks Ray, Tom, F312 or should I say "Ralp", Walrus, and Bonneville! I have a small addiction to Fat Bottomed Girls...er I mean Guilds. To be honest I like 'em both.:applouse:

What Tom said, what can I say. LOL

Wow, jumbo goodness! :glee:

I don't think I have as many guitar picks as you have Jumbo's.

Stunning.

On a serious note, I had a bit of sellers remorse at trading the F50R to Tx, (who was fun to deal with), but I think it's been out of it's case more since he got it back from his luthier than I did in all of 2017.

Glad it found a good home with lots of other kin to hang with!!

PittPastor · Jan 1, 2018

I have no words... just speechless. What a great family you have there!

Taylor Martin Guild · Jan 1, 2018

If I ever go to get rid of it you know you have first right of refusal. Just to let you know she is opening up nicely. I got it back on the 21st or 22nd of December and it has not been back in it's case since. I am a firm believer that the Solid Wood guitars need to breathe a bit to help with the "Break In" period. I currently have all of my Jumbos out on stands in the music room so when I put her to bed before I go to sleep she is in good company. I am also superstitious in the way I think they should be on stands next to one another where they can get to know each other a bit. I know it sounds crazy but I am pretty sure they have conversations in the night with each other as from time to time you will here a guitar being strummed when no one is in the room. Maybe it's the Ghosts, LOL! If it is at least I know they have great taste!

Thanks to all for the kind words and I hope everyone has a Safe and Happy New Year!

TX, you may have been sniffin' a bit too much soundhole glue

on the "guitars getting to know each other" thing, but no question... having the guitars in easy reach is a sure-fire recipe for them getting played more. Sadly, I don't have enough humidity in my house to keep my guitars out on stands. Could do it in the one room that I keep humidified, but that's too small a space to form a good guitar commune.

Uh-oh!

Don't believe a da*n thing that F-50R says. That goes double for the sheep too!!

May be the ultimate in compliments from PittPastor because at age 69, I have never been around a Pastor that was speechless.

Well TX let me know when one of those Jumbos says "you should sell me to D30Man for $500"..
