<p>Thanks for sharing the pictures Mike. It looks like a pretty sensible layout. Bolt-on and bolt-down is a good system in general. I was really interested in those Garrison guitars when they were around. I played a few but didn't quite get around to buying one. I guess there are still lots of them on EBay and elsewhere. I wonder how their framing system is holding up?</p>

<p>It's turning-out fine.... everything's pretty normal once you get used-to the attachment scheme. Plus, it's refreshing, for a change, not needing to not break out the steamer, bicycle needle, etc.</p>
<p>I'm not familiar with Garrison guitars, so can't say if the neck block attachment is the same or not.</p>

<p>Seems very close to Garrison construction and may have been born in the same shop. The local store was a Garrison dealer (thru their short life) and they provided him with a completed frame, I assume for display/advertisement purposes. He and I examined it closely. The screws or bolts were not there but I think everything else was. Reminded me more of something you would see in a B-2 bomber than a guitar but it was interesting and I was a bit excited to see someone incorporating a rather…</p>

The screws or bolts were not there but I think everything else was. Reminded me more of something you would see in a B-2 bomber than a guitar but it was interesting and I was a bit excited to see someone incorporating a rather radical approach to guitar construction. Their guitars seemed to be very bright sounding but well built. I've never had occasion to attempt any work on one so I can't help with that. Please let us know it comes out.</p>

<p>So the job's now mine to do. Needs a reset, frets and a saddle. Got the guitar apart and it's an interesting neck-attachment system. It's a molded graphite block with matching graphite 'rails' on the neck. The graphite block has a "spider" affair with thin legs that fan out, and are attached to, the underside of the top.</p>
<p>Four screws total (3 upstairs for the fingerboard extension, 1 for the pulling the neck tight). It's apparently been apart before and someone's managed to lose a…</p>

<p>There's been controversy over this particular Guild set-up (never patented and no longer made) but the bottom line seems to be if it's in good shape now, it's likely to stay that way. </p>
<p>Yikes, there's shades of Ovation in that neck block construction ...but otherwise it seems like it's a nice guitar.</p>
<p>Pics attached just for someone's future reference down the road.</p>
