I took custody of this D15 earlier this week. Haven't had a chance to take pics yet so these are from the seller. FYI, it's a 1992 WGR model.
A few thoughts:
It's pretty beat to hell but structurally sound. That's kind of what I was going for. It tells me it's been played, not babied.
It plays great with nice low action and plenty of saddle showing. Has a K&K mini installed, so that was a bonus.
The sound is definitely a different flavor than I'm used to. Very mellow, real nice strummer. There's an element of "thunk" to the tone that's different than my spruce tops. It's currently strung with lights but I think it needs mediums. You've got to hit it hard to get the most out of it. It's fairly heavy but not out of line with other older Guilds I've played. I've had hog topped guitars in the past but never a dread so it's a nice change of pace from my other guitars.
I think I'll put some mediums on it this weekend and see what that does. I'm happy with it so far.
