Madeira classical guitar
Posted by Uncle Dave on Thu, 01/24/02 - 00:48:44.
I had a Madeira classical guitar for some time. I'd swear that the promo material I got from Guild said the classicals were built in Spain. My model was a C-900. When I had it appraised, it didn't show up in the blue book, the highest "C" being "600." Solid cedar top, rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, wood and plastic binding--exquisite sound and playability! I remember the neck being wide, even for a classical. 'Made it fun to learn lute songs on it.
I pawned it ten years ago (hard times), and would love to find another. I'm in the market for classical guitar again, and I compare every one I see now with my memories of this one. So, who's hiding and hoarding? Let's talk.

Hi, Uncle Dave I have a fantastic 1977 or 78 GUILD P-600 in mint condition for sale. It's at a shop being sold on consignment. It's been there for 4 mnths. now. The owner told me he was interested but, he never got back to me. If you want to buy it, once I get it back this week, you can leave your e-mail and I'll send you my contact info. Thanks for your time. I'm still trying to find out it's value.
Re: Madeira classical guitar
I recently aquired a Madeira C-60. It really sounds awesome. If anyone has anymore updated information on this guitar please let me know
Re: Madeira classical guitar
I got a C-60 from a pawn shop (2009) for $54.00. I thought it would be a cheap piece of crap because someone had it strung with steel strings and it was warped pretty bad. They also wrote all over it with permanent marker. Really I just bought it because I needed something to play (my other guitar is dead now). I got home and found most of the bracing lifted off the inside, so I glued that down (pretty terrible job, but it works)and strung it up, and holy crap! this thing can sing.
Re: Madeira classical guitar
I purchased a used Maderia classical Model C-60, serial #70412 10 years ago and have been trying to obtain info on this guitar over the last severial years with no luck. It now appears from this web page that many of us are in the same position. I suspect from your post and others my C-60 is at the lower end from the C-900 & C-600????? Either way it gets played daily and sounds wonderfully warm and alive. Couldn't be w/o it.

Re: Madeira classical guitar
I have a Madeira C-900 classical guitar that I bought in 1978. It has the rosewood sides and back with a cedar top. The sound, after 24 years of play, is outstanding. As I recall, I paid about $350 or $400 for it in 1978. I'd love to know what it might be worth today. It doesn't really matter I guess, because I couldn't part with it. It's part of the family. I have a Martin, a Washburn, a Gibson and an Ovation, but when I really need therapy, I always pick up the Madeira.
