well--i pulled the trigger. needing a replacement for my old (1981) Martin D-18 which suffered a fatal collision with a piece of furniture, i was at my local guitar tech's place, looking at another D-18, when he brought out this DV-6. lust at first sight. after playing on it for almost an hour lust became love.
near as i can tell from the serial number (AD061440), its a '96, Westerly.
for what was left of old marty, & another $600. he swapped the pickup, & put on a set of openback grovers --i wanted the grovers instead of the gold, but thats just me.
my wife loves the herringbone, im in love with the grain (lots of silking), we both love the tones.
Now i remember why i loved Guilds (before i bought old marty, that is)
My Gosh, what a Guitar.
