I have a Guild F-212 made in 1964, bought in 1965. It's been with me, more or less in order, through my last year of high school, dropping out of two colleges. One failed marriage, one failed engagement, ten years playing sleazy gin mills, 15 years in low level retail management, a successful second marriage, three college degrees and, most recently, 15 years as a teacher in a juvenile prison. Neither of us have aged as gracefully as we'd like. I also have a 1930s Metro B archtop, probably made by, or at least marketed by, Bacon and Day. It sound nice but could probably use a neck reset. I hope I'm in as good shape after another 15-20 years.
Brad
