The DC’s body laminate is slightly thinner compared with the SC – which we’d guess indicates three-ply as opposed to the SC’s five-ply. The neck is a lighter colour and you can also see a heel stack and head-splice just in front of the lower two tuners. Still, through the trans cherry colour of the DC you can see the wood grain and that distinct striping to the body. In terms of size they’re pretty similar: the SC is 419mm (16.5 inches) across its lower bouts, the DC marginally thinner at 416mm (16.38 inches). The DC has a full ES-335-style centre block (like the IV and V) that appears to be solid mahogany. The SC has a two-piece block directly under the bridge, the top portion stretching back under the front of the vibrato so the vibrato and tune-o-matic can be firmly mounted into solid wood (like the III). Peering through the unbound f-holes of both, that certainly looks correct, but there’s another more fundamental difference. Those Kids from Fawn Creek will enchant fans of Rebecca Stead, Jerry Spinelli, and Kate DiCamillo.Each model is available hardtail with a direct-mount tune-o-matic and stud tailpiece, and in that GVT version with a Guild-logo’d vibrato based on (and presumably licensed from) Bigsby’s B70 with its front-placed roller tension bar.Īccording to the spec sheets, further differences between the SC and DC models are the materials: the SCs use laminated maple for the front, back and sides, and solid maple for the neck the DCs swap to mahogany – more like those original Starfires. Newbery Medal and Newbery Honor winner Erin Entrada Kelly explores complex themes centered on family, friendships, and staying true to yourself. Who will claim Orchid Mason? Who will save Orchid Mason? Or will Orchid Mason save them? She's wearing a flower behind her ear.įawn Creek Middle might be small, but it has its tightly knit groups-the self-proclaimed "God Squad," the jocks, the outsiders-just like anyplace else. Orchid-who was born in New York City but just moved to Fawn Creek from Paris-seems to float. When Orchid Mason arrives and slips gracefully into Renni's chair, the other seventh graders don't know what to think. Renni's desk is empty, but Renni still knows their secrets is still pulling their strings. That's because Renni Dean's father got a promotion, and the family moved to Grand Saintlodge, the nearest big town. There are thirteen desks in the seventh-grade classroom. And in this small factory town where everyone knows everything about everyone, that's not necessarily a great thing. There are twelve kids in the seventh grade at Fawn Creek Middle School. From Erin Entrada Kelly, the winner of the Newbery Medal for Hello, Universe and a Newbery Honor for We Dream of Space, this contemporary school story set in small-town Louisiana is about friendship, family, deception, and being true to yourself and your dreams.
