Subject: RE: Info/Opinios Re: Guild Guitars
Ed Trickett used to have the most amazing D-40 I ever heard. It, too, was stolen. Whoever ended up with that guitar got a real prize! Ed replaced it with a Taylor. I played a D-50 for a long time and loved it. I recently acquired a mint D-25 from a fellow who got it about ten years ago in exchange for a painting job, and never got around to learning to play it. I liked it a lot, but I'm unable to afford all my addictions, so I sold it to a fellow in Rhode Island. I've never found the Guild necks too narrow, and I generally like a pretty wide neck. (Fat fingers that grew up on nylon strings back in the dark ages.) I haven't played a Guild since the takeover, but I'm glad to hear from Catspaw that they are maintaining their quality.
