I actually started collecting guitars "by Guild" in the 70's with the
Madiera Acoustic Guitar. Recently I've added a few more, for various
reasons - good deals, fits in my Guild collection and even another
project. These are great foreign manufactured guitars that have the
design and quality of Guild without the higher price - similar to
Fender's Squire and Bullet lines. My acoustic is still in Florida, so I won't be working on it or taking pictures any time soon. Since then I've sold a Burnside Strat, bought a DeArmond Ashbory "Rubber-Band" bass, a Madiera "SG" "EBO" style bass that is similar to my Guild S-100 (almost), a Burnside "Tele" style guitar project, and most recently a DeArmond Pilot V 5-string bass to replace the 6-string that I have been playing. |
