heymisterk Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ok, finally managed - I think - to use Photobucket to download pictures. So, I'll start with my worst guitar mistake: Selling my 1999, Westerly, RI Guild Bluesbird in order to fix my roof. I should have just put buckets out to catch the leaks. When I packed it up to send it to the new owner, I was awash in Jack and Cokes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRom Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 That is one strange looking beast, but a beauty. Some things are more important. Not more fun, but more important. Sorry for your loss - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah, guitars can suffer from alcohol poisoning too.... I sold a nice Guild acoustic a few years ago, shoulda kept it but I was gonna buy a Taylor 615 - still haven't done it. My Guild electrics ain't going nowhere. Guild Blues 90 Guild Starfire III hollowbody Both of these guitars (along with the entire Guild electric line) are no longer in production. Great value in the used markets though - that's how I bought mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I sold it about a year or so ago and still miss it. It was handmade, and - I remember where I'm at, so all due respect - had better construction than most of the LPs I've played. The sound was somewhere between a LP and a 335 because of the semi-hollow construction. Slightly bigger than a LP. Light too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Neo, those are beautiful. If I ever get another P-90 guitar, I'll get the BB. When finances allow, I'm going to try and find another HB-equipped Bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah, good luck with that. I'm constantly watching Ebay auctions to see what they sell for. I would LOVE a Starfire V with a Bigsby and another Bluesbird with humbuckers like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well.... Neocon, I've a Guild S100C - the acorn-oak leaf carved top SG clone. In ways I don't really like the SG shape, but it's funny, I did a solo gig with it while working on my usual "take out to play" box and friends were saying it sounded better and that I played better on it than on the 335 type. Frankly that shocked me, especially the latter comment.... The biggest guitar mistake though? I dunno. The Hagstrom 12 electric (board style) or the orange Gretsch semi hollow, probably. I had a pretty nice classical that got traded, as I recall, for the Ovation "Country Artist" nylon-string electric acoustic with 14 frets to the neck. I'm still not sure that was an error or not. Dumping the 7-string I rebuilt from an old Harmony archtop likely was an error. Doubled the G an octave up and added a pickup. Took a lot of time with the thing so it played quite well even if it remained quite ugly. That went circa 1970. Hmmmmmm....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
