Default Guild Savoy 150A

My "entry drug" into archtops is the Guild Savoy 150A. (Their Made in Korea line.) Now I'm saving for their Artist Award -- still about $5000 to go for that one!

I was fortunate enough to find this one in the GC "used" section. It was so unused it still had the paper under the floating bridge when I got it!

When I play out, I play in a small church mostly. Here's a picture I took last Christmas there:



Here I am playing it later.



I really love this guitar. It is a lot more versatile that I thought it would be. When I play in any kind of group, this is my go to guitar because it doesn't get lost in the mix. And the big surprise for me was how this sounds capo'd. It is almost like a harp or something when you get above the 5th fret. Totally unique sound. I really love it.

Currently playing it with the Mesa Rosette 300 amp. Pretty nice combination, all in all for what I do. (Tho the Mesa is crazy expensive, IMHO.)
