GUILD OWNER’S MANUAL
TRUSTED SINCE 1953. Guild is a historic guitar manufacturer that continues its long-standing reputation of iconic acoustic, electric, and bass guitars. From the New York jazz scene in the 1950s, to Richie Havens’ legendary performance at Woodstock, to Seattle’s Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, Guild guitars helped create some of the greatest music in history.
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% RH, 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.
