At first I thought it was a Gretsch when I saw the picture with that color. smi


Probably a pretty nice guitar. Finding an archtop for that kind of money that doesn't suck is pretty difficult....guitars from the Rhode Island era of Guild are usually pretty good.

I'm not very big on gold hardware, but it seems to work with that color and on that guitar. Plus you don't see a lot of those era Guilds around any more.

Noice!!!

[Help!I'maRock!]

you really didn't see a lot of those era Guilds around when they were out. :weebz:

[Mark Wein]

The only reason I did was because I worked at a Fender dealer and we carried the Guild Line. The only guitars my boss kept in stock were the ones that were most like Les Pauls....

i'm also not a fan of gold hardware but it looks good on that guitar....i love the orange color....

btw....at first glance i thought it was a gretsch too....

I never really got too excited about the ones we had. They always seemed kind of dead and harsh sounding to me.

there's a guild les paul type guitar at my buddies music store...i played it thursday unplugged and it played really nice....might plug it in this thursday....but then i'll probably want it.... :facepalm:

my only solid body humbucker guitar is a cheap ibanez rio gax30tr....i would like to replace it with something better and let my daughter have the ibanez....

i remember loving the sound, but not so much the neck. i dunno what it was, but i was in search of Louisville Sluggers then. but i never played one that sounded dead or harsh.

We only had 2 and they sat on the wall for nearly 2 years...possibly we got a couple of bad ones but these weren't very inspiring to play...

its because they had to come all the way from Rhode Island. they sent those as far away as possible.
