AndyTravis Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) This is a tentative trade offer... Dont really know if it’ll stay up that long because it’s brilliant - but I know I’m unlikely to see use out of it as it’s so bloody loud I can’t use it while the kids are in bed and I darent get it down while they’re messing about as it’s not a common sight and wouldn’t be easily replaced if broken. So it’s mid/late 90’s USA made, 30 1/2 scale and all solid. It’s finished in nitrocellulose lacquer and has fishman electronics. Grover Titan Machineheads and a hard case. Its in wonderful condition - some lines in the lacquer which were present when it was bought by the previous owner 15 or so years ago. They haven’t worsened with age and aren’t flaking - commonly seen on nitro finished instruments. It’s wearing some Thomastik strings which I intended to replace but will do if I end up keeping this - they’re not to everyone’s taste and at £50 a set I’m not keen for now while I’m debating it - plus I like how they sound and worry the new set won’t sound as good 😉 has a very DB boom about it, plays wonderfully too. Anyhow, while trying to fire up my desire to play more, I’m thinking about a change - so am offering up for trade. I dunno. Now I’ve typed this - don’t expect me to keep it listed for long. I’m not going to ship this - see the thread on what UPS did to the Tacoma I bought before I found this. Im in Manchester (M27). Anyhow, let’s see what’s on offer - I don’t want a Fretless, and four string stuff only as I’m done with 5’s and my Fretless doesn’t get played. forgive my lacklustre sales pitch 😂 Edited October 25, 2018 by AndyTravis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really fancied myself as a Fretless player when I spec’d it - even recorded half an album with a Fretless Precision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgehouse Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I have a 67 Guild f20 acoustic I am trying to shift at the moment as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Haha. They make wonderful guitars (except some 2002-2005 models I played which were a bit dead sounding) this and my mates d40 (think is also 90’s) which sound alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is “well used” but it sounds incredible for a small body acoustic. I do like Guilds... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Just had a fret polish and restring...so loud. Not a huge fan of the fender phosphor bronze I’ve just put on, it’s much louder than it was with the thomastiks (it was already louder than any other ABG I’ve played...) so i’ll Keep an eye on the exchange rate with thomann listing them at £37/£38 plus postage...
