beloved, local musician
That's one of the models I'm considering.
I've not played one, but the Henna TLE is great to play. I'd imagine this is as well.
That's one of the models I'm considering.
Post if you learn what model. I understand that prior to the D-25 I have, with an arched unbraced laminated mahogany back, they made an all mahogany version with a more conventional braced back. Oh yeah, another variation my version has is a spruce top.My buddy picked up a 70's guild 6 string acoustic when his uncle died.....WOW! What a great playing and sounding guitar!
If I recall correctly his is spruce and mahogany as well, I want to say it is a 1972, I will try to get the model number from him. It is one of those guitars you look at and go, meh, until you pick it up and then it is like an old friend and fits like a glove and WOW! The first time I saw it, it was dirty and it needed some work, so I do the repairs and cleaned it fixed the frets and holy crap......I learned a lot about old Guild flat tops that week!
The one is the model I have been craving, the Guild D-125-12 12 String; the other one was a $2000 model. I really could not tell much difference between the two. The fact is, the D-125 didn't seem all that much better then the LAG of the A & L. That doesn't stop me from wanting the D-125 though. :rolleyes:
The shop that carried these has them for the same price as the on-line dealers. If I do it, I will probably buy local. I need another job first, though.
