Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Guild guitars have been around since the early 1950s, and by the beginning of the '60s, the company had established a solid reputation for its electric and acoustic archtops, which are still widely regarded today. Despite this enduring popularity, little was known about the history of Guild. The Guild Guitar Book is the result of years of intensive research and countless photo sessions. It includes a thorough history of the company and its guitars, including serial numbers, specifications, original prices, and all the information needed to date Guild guitars. Features hundreds of photos, with a beautiful 40-page color section.Now Back in Print!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for guitar addicts, May 4, 2001
By "dsr101" (Milton, PA United States) - See all my reviews
I think thia is a good book. It gives an interesting history of the Guild company. It also has a lot of details that can help the collector identify what type of Guild he has and the date it was made. It has some great photos (most black and white, but there are some color ones to). It is a nice coffee table book for a musican. My only comlaint is that for the price it should be a hard cover (but then I'm cheap).

5.0 out of 5 stars The best resource on Guild, January 18, 2007
By Mr. Wright (Sand City, AZ) - See all my reviews
Guild experts call this book "The Bible." This volume covers Guild through 1977. (A second volume is forthcoming.) It contains more of the important details about Guild through 1977 than all other sources combined. It's as informative as an encyclopedia. Yet it's also a readable history plus an anthology of great photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Information. Wish the timeline was into the 90s.
The book does a good job of catalogging the Guild companies guitars in the early years. There are a lot of pictures of very well preserved/restored Guild classics. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars The Guild Guitar Book
Very interesting and well done, however it leaves out Guild proto-types and small model runs as the FS-46 which I have and could not find in the book.
