Except the links go to a d-55 link that is dead.
Now I've decided I want a vintage Guild.
The JF30-12 and F50R are monopolizing the play time. :encouragement:
You need to change the 3 to a 6 and then add a 0
My biggest problem is I have 20 "Keepers" so when it comes time to sell something I just can't bring myself to do it. I know this is a First world problem and all but it really sucks not to have a few "Culling" guitars around that you can justify selling.:crying:I probably shoulda said "keepers".

Hi Troy,
Here's a link to what appears to be a vintage D - 50 in very good condition in the northern Virginia area, at a fair price of $1,100. I have no connection to the seller.

Why vintage? Why not one of the more recent ones out of Corona or Tacoma or New Hartford? They're less likely to 'need work' for one thing. And why dread, for that matter? :tiger: Get your hands on a jumbo F-50 or F-412 out of any of those shops, and it doesn't get any better. I just shipped off another Epiphone today. The JF30-12 and F50R are monopolizing the play time. :encouragement:
HI Troystory, welcome aboard!I just want that tone and sound I heard in the D-50 (but I'm looking more in the 700-800 range) Very much want to try the new D-20s out as well.

I've tried to adopt a "one in / one out" rule, but my collection *somehow* seems to grow by about a half-dozen guitars each year. Weird.
HI Troystory, welcome aboard!
I don't think the new D20 is gonna scratch that vintage D50 itch.
For one thing the D20's an all-'hog design, while the D50 was sitka top rosewood b/s.
We also know the D20's are using a bolt-on mortise/tenon neck joint whereas all D50's were true dovetails, and D20's are catalyzed varnish finish whereas all D50's got NCL finish.
So I'd expect the collective influence of those build differences to yield different sound palettes, besides the aged opened up woods of the D50.
BUT if you're just curious to hear how the D20's sound, well, so am I!
