Something about Westerly D-55s really seems alluring.
Considering the line up of Guilds in your sig, that actually surprised me.
Well I mean some guitars are definitely unique, but the one that spoke to me was a Westerly D-55 I had obtained last year.
Unfortunately, to maintain the proper playing condition I like, it would've needed a neck reset, refret (replane), and bracing repair. I had to let it go, unfortunately.
One of my DV-72s is definitely a great sounding guitar (I posted a song I used it on here on LTG), but its in the same boat... needs a neck reset and a refret (replane), and new Grover Super Rotomatic tuners. This one, however, I'm going to hold on to. Its spruce top has taken on a shade of golden brown that is unreal... plus it sounds ridiculously good when paired with a higher saddle that allows good break angle.
My JF-100 is kind of a let down as it is. It definitely needs a neck reset, replane, and it HAS to have a loose brace or something because it simply sounds like a dead box as it is. Once again, with a higher saddle, it sounded better, but I maintain that a brace has to be loose somewhere.
The D-100 and other DV-72 are still at Guild in Nashville, but the final ETA is some time this month, so I'm really looking forward to that.
