Dave Guardala - Mouthpiece Maker to the Stars
Hey Saxophone Player and Music Business people!
I almost have news today, but guess it is a heads up to check in tomorrow afternoon for a possible change in this ongoing court mess orchestrated by our dear Dave Guardala. Sources state a possible plea tomorrow in the case. Recent documents have been sent claiming a plea bargin was underway and the Jury selection was set for December 15th! I would have to admit, the court process seems somewhat odd most the time! To see court docs claiming an end and a next step in a trial within 2 days of each other can be hard to grasp or believe.
What I know at this time is, a meeting is scheduled tomorrow and could bring about a change in the current status of 'twilight zone' that this case has been resting within.
Have been off this BLOG due to the ongoing nothing that has been taking place. I am encouraged that something might actually be changing!
Dave Guardala can't keep this out of the courts forever!

According to Court documents forwarded to me this morning, our dear friend Dave Guardala was in court at 9:30 AM in New York. Dave Guardala was scheduled to begin trial today on fraud charges - a 12 count Federal indictment that was supposed to be starting today.
The documents forwarded state that Guardala did see the Judge today, but give no further detail.
At last update by prosecutors, Guardala was working on finding a free Attorney and was granted an 30 day extension to try. Guardala has been in custody for over a year now. Does anyone know what happened to day in court? I wouldn't even know he had seen the Judge if I didn't have people following this case, sending me these documents.
Update???

Hey Guardala blog people.
The scheduled September 15th trial start was pushed back 30 days. I got the calls this morning. The trial was scheduled to start Monday, but will be postponed for a bit.
Just wanted to let those of you know that are following these proceedings.

DAVE GUARDALA AUGUST 2008Well, as of August of 2008 there is little question that the real Dave Guardala did really go to the dark side and defraud dozens of individuals and businesses of 100's of thousands of dollars. I do still get the occasional email from a well meaning individual living in disbelief that Dave Guardala could do such a thing though.
To the few that don't believe the story and still maintain that the ability to create a great product precludes any ability to be evil, I have one thing to say. These are not mutually inclusive factors. Bad people can do good and good people can do bad. Just because an individual excells at making a great thing, product or venture or whatever; it does not mean they are good. SO often, we have problems separating the person from the event. I don't know how or why Dave Guardala went evil on the sax world. All I know is that he did. I have personal involvement and have meet many other respected individuals thru these events that share the same story.
Yes, the real Dave Guardala did bad stuff. He is in jail and will be facing charges that he did bad stuff. If the facts are accurate (as I believe they are), Dave Guardala will have an extended stay at a prison here in the US. I don't claim to understand the legal process or the court system at all. I do claim to be a victim of Dave's stupidity and have hopes that his last year in jail in New York will be extended for many years in the prison system.
Sorry for feeling the need to go there again, but sometimes the email can be a bit frustrating.
On another note - Does anyone know what is going on with the September court date??
I was contacted, interviewed and know nothing more. Any of the other victims out there with any update? Any of the local New York guys dealing with investigators know anything new? Is the court date proceeding - September 15th??
I would love to hear from anyone in the know with a little update. Sometimes being on the West Coast, far from the action, feels like I am very out of the loop.
Appreciate any word on this...
Thanks and hope to see many of me online friends in New York next month!

WOW - I am so surprised to get the most recent comment I just got under 'What Does Dave Guardala Look Like?'
Another kind hearted soul questions the possibility of Dave Guardala being able to do such a thing.
I said it there and now say it here.
Please do not confuse Gift and Talent with moral good or Character. I know I did. I saw the gift and believed the person. These 2 areas of human expression can be completely unrelated! A gift does not imply a good person. Bad people can have great gifts but lack the common sense to grow within the gift.
Court Trial is coming in September. All of you that might not understand this distiction, please join me with your beloved Guardala Mouthpieces - Islip New York - September 15th - Scheduled trial date for The US vrs. Dave Guardala.

Well, even though I can't believe it, this case seems to be headed towards wasting the government's money (which is the tax payers money - which is our money!) and is going to trial. I thought for a while that this was a ploy of some sort to attempt to look like a good guy in the 11th hour and not go to trial with a healthy plea bargain following.
All the email and court papers I have seen seems to be making a case for Dave's continued lack of any judgment or intelligence of any kind. It would appear that Guardala has been complaining about his counsel, and wanted a new public defender which was denied by the Judge. From what has been going on, it seems Dave thinks he should get off and believes he can. This is amazing!
If anyone knows how wrong he is, it should be him, He was there, doing the deed, and ripping everyone off. He knows he is a lowlife thief that preyed on sax players and then on others, once he had his 'evil chops' better fine tuned. I hope Dave gets 100 years in jail at this point. Of course he wont. But, what a dick...
So, I have a scheduled conference call Thursday with investigators and will find out at that time, what involvement I might have in the case. I know we have 100's of documents and hours of taped conversations and dozens of victims that had no doubt they were dealing with Dave Guardala. I think reality for Dave is still something that needs a minor adjustment.
SO, for those of you asking for an update - that's it. It is going to trial. Dave could be defending himself. Dave is going to jail for at least a few years. The trial is to begin September 15th I believe.
This would be another site online that truth looks much stranger than fiction...
Hey, Dave. If you have computer access there in jail - YOU SUCK!
Thanks for your input guys and any news, please pass along...

Dave Guardala Update 6.7.08
Dave Guardala was in court again yesterday and I did get an email with the days notes. It was not very good news since many of us just want him to go away to prison and and be done with it. Of course we all want our money back but we also want fairies to come and give us uncountable riches too.
The court notes straight from the court papers -
You can read them for yourselves.
Do these minutes contain ruling(s) on motion(s)? YES NO
TEXT
Conference held. . No plea has been reached. The Court will set a trial date. The defense counsel is on
trial until the end of June. 20 potential witnesses need to be prepared many from out of state and some from
Germany; multiple tapes and documents need to be copied. The parties agree they need about 8 weeks to prepare
for trial and have previously arranged travel plans in August. The trial will last 5 weeks. Based on the arguments
presented by counsel the Court will set a trial date of 9/15/08 at 9:30 a.m.. Order of excludable delay entered
based on complexity of the case. To ensure that the time is still needed the Court will set a set status conference
for 7/11/08 at 9:30am..
I guess he is working the process best he can.

Hello Guardala Scam followers. The story continues again with another court date scheduled for June 6th. This is what I have -
The following transpired at
Guardala's
court conference this morning before Judge Platt. Guardala's
attorney
informed the judge that she needs more time before she can allow
her
client to either plead guilty or proceed to trial.
She claims to
need the time to have some documents that were found in
Guardala's luggage
translated from German into English. It was also
announced in court that the
government has recently identified
additional victims in this case by
reviewing other documents found in
Guardala's luggage.
At least 5
victims were present in court today despite incredibly
inclement weather. I
am impressed by the commitment that all of the
victims have shown throughout
this matter. I hope that
we will have a
definitive direction in which to go after the next court date;
June 6, 2008.
Dave Guardala is a bad person and did very bad things to toooooo many people! SO, I was right in yesterday's post. We await another court date and my attempted, self imposed, reverse psychology did not work. Nothing today and another month to find out what these documents say and who these new victims are. Bad Dave!

MAY 9th, 2008 Dave Guardala in CourtMy last post said "Waiting for the next Court date - May 9th" Well, it is officially May 9th on the east coast and the court calendar reads -
09:30 AM
Criminal Cause for Status Conference
USA V. Guardala
Deft. - David Guardala - in custody
I would have thought this was going to be the big day, but time and posts below would indicate this will be a day, just like all the other days Dave Guardala has been in court, but don't expect any real news. This has been going on for some time and continues again today. (Of course, since I said that, the sh*t will hit the fan with news 
Any of you east coast guys that get to the court house, drop a line so we can find out what happened with the latest information that caused this last delay. I appreciate it! Being on the west coast, I really do appreciate you-all taking a minute to keep all of us up to date on the proceedings.
Thanks,
