i've heard it's one of three prototypes that Guild made but never put into production. damn shame. the proverbial "hen's teeth" right there!
i do know they did use a similar two point body shape...
horn=thumbs up.....nice warm tone that still projects
bone=thumbs down...way too bright and strident for me
well, it gets my vote! then again i'm a sucker for Guilds. one look...is there any doubt who the maker is?

nah...that never worked for me.
i've got 5 mandos
7 elec basses/ 1 upright
12 gtrs
1 vibraphone (after all...I vibe!)
beautiful instruments. if you're bugged by folks referring to your mando as a "little gtr" i'd steep clear!
since i know there are some gtr folks here i thought i'd ask.....i'm looking for low to mid priced p/u options for my mid priced PARIS SWING GG-42. not interested in super cheap suface mount deals...
i sure hope that mic is mounted on an adjustable gooseneck 'cos as shown in the pic....it points towards the fingerboard! be nice if they included some measurements of the pickup's width.
Love it!
...and thanks to YOU, joel for putting that all together! well done.
the mrs. and i are getting ready to head up to cleveland in a bit for this deal tomorrow. very excited about the concert (my first house concert) and the workshops... the ten hr drive from Tebbetts...
Guild Mandolin Phosphor Bronze, .011 - .040, R-1100
Just discovered these listed at Just Strings http://www.juststrings.com/gld-r-1100.html
Has anyone tried these? I've only been able to...
yep....i'm in. already registered!
i can play mando w/o a strap but see no reason to.
w/o a strap i have to use both hands to hold and support the instrument.....i'd rather free up my left hand (my frettting hand) to just deal w...
thanks jeff, and thank you again Nickster for those violin labels and the reply. you too, bob
i agree w bob clark, that should be on a bumper sticker, tee shirt, or something!
i made my reservations for both the concert and workshops.....looking fwd to it!
i've tried a few....ebony, rosewood, cocobola. unfortunately the physical beauty and great tactile feel of these picks was unmatched by the tones they produced (on both mando and gtr).....to my ears...
yes folks, after taking some time off from what is looking more and more to be a lifelong project i've decided this MUST be done!
(i might play gtr, elec bass, upright, mando, and dobro...but...
I've got an older style McLung ebony armrest on my '87 Flatiron A5 Jr. I love it. super comfy w the older more rounded/contoured style and i do believe getting my forearm of the soundboard helps w...

very nice arrangement and playing there, mandoguitar.
here's a version of my group PLANET JAZZ doing our arrangement of this tune. (I'm the doofus on...
and i must say that in compiling that over the top list, sblock.....i am very disappointed you overlooked including that other vital info of whether the screws used to mount the tuning machines are...
quite correct oldsausage.....in sblock's haste to compile that list not only did he did overlook smell...but also how many times the mando has been out of the house in the last month, what type of...
yep, that!
i think their list is an example of semantics rearing it's ugly head. instead of the title "10 Awesome Mandolin Tunes" a better suited and more apt title might be "10 Awesome Tunes with...
well, the OP stated in his original post that he DID contact SEVERAL buyers. and received snarky responses. or none.
well, you might see his request as an "idiosyncrasy". other's milage WILL...
what a peculiar way to view it. you have it quite backwards in my opinion. why would i need to drive or fly a long distance to see if the playing width is comfortable???? that's the whole point of...
nut width? it's one of the first things i want to know about when considering purchase of any mando or gtr.
i agree that i too like see that info included, but it seems to me that any seller who...
