Thanks Edward. Great clip.

Okay just saw a clip from the Moody's show from 1975 and it looks to me that the 6 string guild is a JF-30 with black finish (I have one like it with the natural top) and the 12 seems to be a natural top JF-30-12. These both have the solid maple sides and a curved, braceless, laminated back...similar to the famous Guild jazz boxes of the day! Thanks for posting this so I would know about it and get to see it! Edward

P.S. I remember the lead singer in Chicago used a Jumbo Guild 12 string in the video for the song "If You Leave Me Now"

Thanks Ted, I will first check YouTube for any clips from the show, that's the quickest! Your Wildest Dreams, now there's another of my favotries by them! Edward

Watched on Netflix - Moody Blues: Lovely to See You - 2005 - Performing their first live concert without orchestral backing since 1977, original Moody Blues members Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Graeme Edge take the stage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles for a magical evening of music. Tracks include the title tune, "Tuesday Afternoon," "Your Wildest Dreams," "Nights in White Satin," "Question," "Steppin' in a Slide Zone," "Are You Sitting Comfortably?" "Forever Autumn" and "The Story in Your Eyes."

Yeah, great music...I loved Tuesday Afternoon and Story in Your Eyes. I have not seen the concert you are referring to where they play the Guilds...I'll have to look that up! Thanks, Edward

"Fly me high" was one of my favourites.

I don't know how many of you like the Moody Blues. I do. The first albums after the group restructured after "Go Now" are my favorites. I watched a concert of theirs last evening via Netflix. A recent one At the Greek Theater in LA. John Lodge played a Guild 12. Justin Hayward played a Guild 6 and a Guild 12. I'm trying to find out how old they are and exactly which models. Shouldn't take long.

On to Guild info. I saw a 1964 Guild parlor size today for 1500 bucks at Guitar center. I believe it is an F20. Lot of wear on the lower sound hole from a lot of playing. Made in Hoboken so it is pre-Westerly. The manager of the acoustic department, Matt (a wonderful guy), showed it to me today and let me play it. It was wonderful. This is a picture of one for sale at Matt Umanov and, apparently, in much better shape.

Hi Gentlemen,

Please forgive the intrusion of a non-Guild. I just got back my 1965 Goya N21 from Pete the tech at my local Guitar center. he did a great job. The loose brace and the kerfing has been repaired and it plays wonderfully. This is my second. As I think I mentioned the first was destroyed in a car wreck in 1973. Odd guitar. Non adjustable aluminum truss rod. Mahogany throughout and made in Goteburg, Sweden 45 years ago. It is a grand concert size. About the same as the Taylor GC series.
