Here is my new 1982 Mark V. It is a gorgeous classical guitar that has been lovingly taken care of for many, many years. It has a warm sound that I never thought would convince me that rosewood is better than mahogany for a classical guitar - but it IS! Wow-wee, it is amazingly rich, full, and has a voice that says, "I'm a contender, Ramirez!" 
The Spanish heel just adds to the overall appearance, charm, and romance...OK, guys, it is so special I had to throw-in the overall subtleties. :wink: Playability is outstanding. I just restrung with Sevilla, EMP, medium tension - ball end. For those purists, I chose ball-end because I didn't want to scratch the soundboard restringing with 'regular' classical guitar strings. Mea maxima culpa. By the way, my Mark V is twocorgis' cousin, their S/N's are only four apart. Purdy kewl, huh. 8)
I have a few Thank You's to several LTGers who helped during the journey of acquiring this great guitar. First of all, a big thanks to averya, who was the original owner and took such good care of this Mark V for almost 30 years. Avery, I promise to take very good care of it. Promise. Secondly, silverfox (Tom C.) and twocorgis (Sandy) were so helpful (behind the scene) in counseling both me and Avery. Thanks, Guys, you're the BEST! Treem, thank you for letting me know the Mark V was for sale. And, to all the other LTGers who I did not know were helping...a warm thank you.
I’ve just owned the Mark II for a short-time, but it is for sale (as you can see from my signature). It has been a very, very nice in-the-meantime Guild Mark.
