Hi y'all! i got my 2nd D25M today!! i must confess, my title was a little misleading though, because my new one is a 76, while my first one is a 77. (maybe one was completed new years eve and the other new years day??) i have to say, it is really nice, exactly the shade i was hoping for. the top is lighter, and you can see the pickguard and rosette. and i like the yellowing of the 'racing stripe' that runs around the edge of the top. vintage vibe radiation.... they both sound very similar, though they have different types of strings now, and gauges (77-Martin PB med/76-D'Addario EXP coated 80/20 lights, though i'll probably use PB lights when i replace them...).
anyway, here's a pic:
76er is on the right... it's interesting how these are both "M" of practically the same vintage, but look totally different.... even the color of the fingerboards is different.
overall, it's in really nice condition, but (of course there's a 'but'), there's a slight crack on the back of the headstock (that i suspect happened during shipping). i'll post a pic and see what you guys think of it, and any recommendations about what i might want to do....
Oh, and one other thing. Anyone ever reattached the 'guild' plate to the hard case? if so, what did you use? contact cement? super glue? i'm proud of my guild! thanks!!!
