New guitar day! (acoustic)
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2008 12:30 am
Some of you may have seen my other acoustic thread about shopping for a new guild. Well I finally got one!
Obama started doing good things for me before he even got elected :p
So I was sitting at work at like 4:30pm browsing craigslist and I saw a post selling this guitar for best offer by 5pm because the guy wanted to go to the obama election day party.
I offered him 350 and told him I'd pick it up in 30 minutes with cash in hand and he went for it! I think I got a great deal because from what I can see, these go for like 1200 new and this one is near mint minus some scuffs on the pickguard from normal use.
It's a guild GAD-30e with a fishman pickup system. Plugged in it has a super natural sound, exactly like unplugged except obviously louder. Though it doesn't have any sort of onboard eq, it still sounds great.
Body Style Orchestra
Top Solid Sitka Spruce
Bracing Scalloped
Back Solid Mahogany
Sides Solid Mahogany
Bridge Indian Rosewood Pin Bridge
Neck 1-Piece Mahogany
Fretboard Indian Rosewood (12" Radius)
(copied from guild's site :p )
Anyways, enough bs; here's the pics! (sorry, im a terribad photographer)
