Guild CV1 Sunburst

The Guild CV-1 Acoustic Guitar has a vintage body, accented by a solid spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a laquer finish. Patented Guild Neck Block System, bone nut and saddle, ivoroid bindings, Madagascar rosewood fingerboard and bridge, pearl logo and new G shield, plus abalone dot inlays compltte this stunning Guild guitar. This is a 2006 – 2008 Guild Tacoma CV-1. This guitar has some unique features. It’s based on traditional acoustic shapes, but the neck joint uses a graphite neck block and bolt system. Fender had apparently applied for patents on this system, but they weren’t granted. Variations on this type of bolt-together arrangement (except for the graphite block) is now found on many quality guitars, including Taylors, Collings, and LaSiDo. Many independent builders also use versions of the bolt-together joint.

The reason is that nearly all acoustics of a certain age are going to require a major piece of work called a neck reset. This need arises because over time, string tension effectively lowers the neck angle, and the action goes up to a point where the saddle can’t be lowered enough. On guitars with conventional glued dovetail or tenon joints, this work is expensive and is done by techs with high skill levels; on some instruments, some finish work is also needed. With the bolt-secured arrangements, the work can be done in a few hours with no finish work required. In short, this is a really good idea with lots of practical benefits and no significant tonal downside.

The tone of this instrument is rich, clear and transparent, with deep lower mids and a sparkling upper range. A real beauty, both in form and function..
