GUILD OWNER’S MANUAL
moisture Content & humidity Commitment to Craftsmanship Musician and instrument retailer Alfred Dronge founded Guild in New York in the early 1950s. The first guitars from his small workshop were handmade with expensive rare woods, costly lacquers, and the thorough attention to detail that could only come from an experienced musician. Today Guild guitars are still handmade, using properly aged, carefully selected tonewoods.
We strongly recommend using a hygrometer for this purpose. Whenever you are using home heating or air conditioning, protect your guitar from drying out by using a room humidifier set to maintain a 40-50% relative humidity, and/or by keeping your guitar in its case with a guitar humidifier inside. When your guitar is not in use, it is best to keep it in its case along with a small guitar humidifier.
too tight will result in a convex neck bow, action that is too low, and fret buzz. Keep in mind that moving the truss rod even a fraction of an inch can make a huge difference in the guitar’s playability. figure 1 Depending on the model, truss rod adjustments on Guild guitars are made either beneath the truss-rod cover on the headstock (figure 1) or inside the soundhole at the other end of the neck (figure 2).
