Anything prettier than a semi-hollow mahogany?

[p.mo]

Anyone else love them some semi-hollow mahogany? I love this Guild - best guitar purchase last year. So much maple out there and not enough HOG.

I owned an all hog 70's Starfire IV at one point, man the mahogany on it was just so beautiful. It was natural color and super streaky. I'll see if I can't find a pic of it somewhere. I want to say it was a 77 or 78.

Love this 90's run of SF reissues from Westerly as well. Superb guitars and masterfully crafted.

That is a stunning guitar, congratulations!

Sweet guitar, man ! I like the look of the Filtron-type LB-1 Little Bucker pickups.

Gorgeous!

Those are regular buckers. two screws in the middle of the pickup ring is the giveaway on these.

But I like the look of the little buckers too...and the sound of them!

Yes, I know. I am a bit of a Guild-a-holic myself. I was just commenting that they weren't the little buckers as stated by the previous poster I quoted due to the 2 screws in the middle versus 1.

...well as long as they're not mistaken as the dreaded fender impostors! lol ...guess i'm a bit of a guild-a-holic, too! just got into guilds within the past six months or so. lots of great history there. they made some truly beautiful guitars.

Yes.
Semi hollow flame

Here's my most sentimental guitar. A '62 Starfire II I picked up in the late 90s for around $500. (Edit to add - I guess this is cheating, because I think the SFI and SFIIs are full hollow and not semi. That said, it's a thinline and a rock machine)

 

[BEACHBUM]

Yep,burled.

Love me some Guilds!! Nice SF IV!! I agree, those are Duncan SD1 pickups. My 97 X170's pickups are exactly the same, except gold.

FULL HOLLOW mahogany!

 

[Jazzandmore]

D, you are always dragging me into these things!

Figured Nicaraguan Mahogany

 

[Bluesidae]

Thanks! I love this mohagany midrange monster made for me by Matt Artinger. This one gets passed down to my unborn children.
