I just joined the Guild Forum. I own a Guild JV-72. I am a little confused as to how many they actually made and why the guitar isn't very well known. I also own a D-40, D-50, and D-55. The JV-72 outplays all of them.
Hey Spencer,
Cool!~ (I have the other JV72.)
Determining a value depends on a number of factors. With only two JV72s accounted for, scarcity counts for something, but condition counts for quite a lot, as Steve notes.
Yours has to be in better condition than mine was when I got it. Mine had been poorly maintained and amateurishly repaired. Fortunately almost everything that had been done to it was un-doable or reparable and since I got the guitar for nothing I felt fine about investing in having it made playable again.
That said, as scarce as it is and even with the repairs, I'd be pleased if I could get two grand for it.
Yes -- I'd love to see photos of yours too!

You 2, or 3 or however many of you there are on this forum are lucky folks indeed. I'm a daily checker of Reverb, Ebay and other sites and I don't ever recall a JV 72 being listed anywhere. Good for ya'll.
