Hello to all I found this place following a youtube video.

I used to play a bit in high school and am now a confirmed beginner.

My favorite guitar is also the best 'mother in law' story I have.

A few years after my wife and I were married we were visiting my Mother in law. She pulled this guitar case out from under the spare bed and asked if I would sell it for her. She said she didn't know what it was worth and was afraid of getting ripped off.

After I saw the guitar, I said, REALLY you want to SELL this??

(I was her husbands)

and she said, yes, it has just been under the bed since he died,


Unless of course, you want it???

HECK YES I WANT IT. :dude

now, is that a cool mother-in-law or what? :dance

so I took the guild T100D, 'slim jim' home.

From the guild website the serial number makes it a 1965.

Almost as old as I am.

it has some company on the wall in the music corner but always gets the place of honor.
 
Welcome!

That sure is a beautiful guitar you have there. I wish Guild still made electrics. They had some fine guitfiddles back in the day!
 
Welcome aboard! That was a great mother-in-law story, indeed. Interestingly, I was just reading about the Slim Jim last night. Very nice!
 
Welcome to The Fret, Dragon Rider. Good to have you here. There are several of us here that picked up the guitar again after time away.

I sure like that Guild... Wanna' sell it? :poke
I wish I had a guitar playing relitive, but maybe I'll be the one who passes a few to later generations.

Na, It will go to my son when he expresses an interest in guitars with a story that it is a gift from a granda he never got to meet.

Thus I'll have kept it in the family for three generations.

What my son does with it is up to him. (so wait 20 yrs and ask him :D )
