In NY, 1976, an israeli guy I knew had a job cleaning people's garages. He brought a 1962 Guild M20 to me, explaining that he had asked a lady what to do with the guitar in her garage, and that she had told him to throw it away. So he gave it to me because he didn't play guitar. This garage cleaning guy had a deep reverence for clarinets, although he'd never played one, and had asked a few days before if he could hold my clarinet. When he gave me the Guild, I presented him with the clarinet. He said "Don't make joke like that," but I made him take it. The Guild is a very small bodied instrument with mahogany top/sides/back/neck. Its sound has changed over the years - first for the better, and then for the worse. It's currently sounding good again, but a bit thin. Changed recently from lights strings to silk & steel. It's so small and light as to all but disappear from your notice when you play it. Good writing guitar.
