1974 D-40 Question...

[chazmo]

Well, I'm sure it's hard to remember, 6, but was the label there when you bought it?

I don't know if they did this in 1974, but could it be that yours was a factory second? If I recall, those guitars had a "B" or something like that scribbled on the label, and I *don't* know if they had any modification to the back of the headstock brand... Maybe the store sold you a second and ripped the label out?

Great Tom Rush song.
I've shared that one with lots of friends who could relate.
It happens to the best of us, eventually.

Was going through some boxes with parts that were leftover after the Westerly plant closed in 2001 and look what I found in between some old notebooks!

Nah .............. I just couldn't resist!

But, can you speak French in Russian?

Seriously, my '87 D-30 still has it's label, but it's peeling off. I think it's not too unusual with Guilds. Luckily, they put the serial numbers elsewhere.

Right after joining this forum I looked inside my ’79 D40 and found that the label was missing. I shook it quite a bit - nothing. Stuck an inspection mirror inside; still no label.

Shortly after that I brought her in for a neck reset and setup. When I came in to pick it up the luthier handed me the label. I have no idea where he found it.

I keep meaning to glue it back in, but always forget while I’m restringing. In the meantime the label is in my case.

For some reason I’m expecting that when I do remember, I won’t be able to find it. :roll:

When I bought my D35 the label was loose and in the case. Must have been weak glue or paste they used. I had my luthier stick it back in when he did the set up and changed the nut and saddle for bone. C'est la vie :mrgreen:
