Jack van Breen from Guitar Showcase talks about Guild Guitars. They have been around for 50 years but have not gotten the respect they deserve. Jacks starts off with a Guild Avalon. Built in the Fender Custom Shop (who now own Guild) under the guidance of Bob Benedetto who worked with Fender at the time especially for the Catalina Island Blues Festival. Made of Solid AAA Flame Koa with a special inlay of the Avalon Ballroom on the Headstock and Special Fret Board Inlays. This is the only one we’ve ever seen and was purchased at the 2000 NAMM Show and never sold.
