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.

Welcome Breighter, and another Guild JV!
Guild made 23 JV-72s, 19 in 1994, and 20-23 in 95. It is a very rare model, as is it`s plainer brother the JV-52, of which there are 28. I would guess that this rarity is the reason, the model is less well known.
Please let us know the story of yours, and post some mandatory photos.
Welcome again,
Steve.

Lovely! Looks like you took lots better care of yours than whoever had mine before I got it!
Glad I invested in having it made playable though, as it's a great sounding guitar.
So, we now have three JV72s accounted for here on LTG!
Yours is #21
Mine is #6
Anyone know what # the third one was?

Just be sure to remove it from the shower before you turn the water on. :soap:

Re-reading this story again this morning, on 3rd cup of coffee, dawns on me that Glenn's perseverance is quite similar to that of the Guild brand. I would have given up by then. Nice to own 1/23 however.
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.

That`s a stunning looking JV-72 GTRLover. It seems the JV family is starting to grow on here.
Out of interest what kind of bracing do you have? My JV-52 has the same bracing as most Westerly made F50r/JF-55 models, in that it is unscalloped bracing with three tone bars, and three small braces on the outside of the main X brace per side.
