Hello,
I know messing with vintage guitars is frowned upon, however, I picked up a 1970 Guild D 40 for sixty-five bucks in such horrendous shape (neck badly twisted and sunken, someone had very badly re-finished the top, including varnishing the fretboard) that I decided to fix it. And I did, got the neck back to where it should be, stripped the entire instrument and refinished it, new pickguard, pins, anyway , that special tone this guitar had even when I bought it and it was barely playable happily survived the entire fixing process, and it is the most awesome toned dread...really barky and timbery and resonant and loud...so unlike any other dread I have. Anyone else have one of these old Westerly D 40's?
