No,
Benjamin Franklin didn't play these, just me. I'm sort of
historic too, if you count daily average donut consumption.
I have decided to
sell some of the guitars I've played through the years. I only
use my Taylor these days and would love to have these guitars go
to folks who have loved my music and CDs over the years. Most of
these have been played on various CDs, including the 6-string I
played on my very first album, Run This Way Forever. I've played
all of these instruments either in the studio or at concerts on
the road.
Some
guitars have had repairs over the years, re-set necks, replaced
bridges, replaced head stocks, pickups installed, etc. All are
quite playable and I’ve played each of them recently. The
Guild guitars, both the 6-string and 12-string, I've played in
concert in the last year. Though you may want these to play -
and I hope you do - I’m selling them mainly for the sentimental
value of instruments on which were created songs that many
people around the world have listened to and loved. All guitars
are sold as-is and may not be returned. I will happily autograph
each instrument if you request. Each guitar will be sold with a
certificate of authenticity stating that it was once owned and
played by me and included will be a photo of me playing any
instrument you buy.
