Hey Pix ,
   Since you mentioned it , this Maya does look just like the Martin auditorium size guitars ... If you were'nt close enough to read the headstock logo , you'd think it was a Martin ...
    About the pics , if I ever figure out how to post them , you'll see pics of all nine of my guitars and all eight fiddles , L O L ...

Sorry Badeye ,
   What I meant to ask was what style was it , ie concert , jumbo or dreadnaught ... Mine are concert or what some folks call mini-jumbos ... My little brother had a Guild D-4 which is a dread and I really liked the sound of that thing ... I should have bought it when he sold it , except that the guy who bought it offered him 350.00 more than he paid for it , L O L ...

Hey Badeye ,
   I've got three Guilds , a '99 F-65 , a '97 F-30 , and a '65 F-30 ... I play them all , but prefer the F-30s ... The '65 F-30 is one of my guitars that I don't take out , so it does'nt get played a lot ... BTW , what model was the one you played ??

Hi All ,
   Interesting thread Zurf , and you're right about the " if not one thing then another " ...
   We bought our forth and final house three yrs ago , and last year about this time we paid it off and then started putting the payment money aside for some not needed , but wanted improvements ... Well , we decided it was time , so we put in new concrete driveway , patio , outdoor hot tub with a small deck , privacy fencing , wood railing around the patio , and landscaping ... Well halfway through the concrete work , our water heater crapped out , so had to stop and replace that , then the furnass went , so replaced that with a new 95 plus , ( something that we kinda figured on doing anyway ) , luckily we had put aside more than enough so it did'nt hold up the stuff that we wanted to do , but it's always something ... Anyway we got it all done and now just waiting for a couple nice days so that we can get all the wood stained before the weather turns for good ... Gotta say though , there's nothing like sitting in that hot tub when it's forty degrees out with the steam so thick my wife and I can't see each other across the tub ... We were in there one night and it was snowing so we were both sitting there with snow on our heads , L O L ... We disovered that the only problem with being in there in cold weather is " who's turn is it to get out and run to the shop fridge and get more beer ", L O L ....
   Anyway , hope the rest of your project works out and you don't overdo it and get a cold any worse than it is , remember , at our age , you don't recover from that stuff like when you were younger ...

Hi All ,
    Personally , I have no problem sharing my secrets ,
L O L ... As if anyone would want to steal my sound ...
    I don't play out that much , maybe once or twice a month during the summer months ...
    I run my korean made 335 copy into the pedal tuner then to a chorus pedal and from there directly into the powered mixer ... My A/E Guild flat top is run to a stand alone preamp and then tee connected into the tuner with the 335 ... When I play fiddle , then that is hooked up in place of the flat top so I have the preamp , the tuner and the chorus right in line ...
Simple , and I don't have to load an amp also ...

Hi ,
   I've always been a Guild fan ... I now have three in my small collection ... A '65 F-30 , a '97 F-30 and a '99 F-65ce ... Paid a lot of money for the F-65 and after playing it for a few months , I was never happy with the tone so it does'nt get played much ... Now days when I play out I use the '97 F-30 that I installed a fishman under saddle pickup in for the accoustic stuff and my korean made 335 copy ... Those two guitars do pretty much anything I need ....

Hey Zurf ,
   Welcome to " fiddlery " ? Good luck and I
hope you enjoy the fiddle as much as I do ...
   As to the value , as aabb said , look for a label inside one of the f-holes or as stated , I have also seen them signed on the underside of the sound board ... Very few makers did'nt have enough pride in their work to at least sign it ... That said , in my experience with violins , most times an old violin is just that and not worth much unless made by a recognized maker ... The eldist in my collection is almost 150 years old and does'nt carry much value due to being made by an obscure maker ... To me though that one has a tonal quality that my others lack ...Anyway whether it be worth good money or not , treat it with respect and enjoy it for what it is , you'll have a lot of fun with it ...
