Hoboken and Westerly bridges on D-50's – rosewood or ebony?
Does anyone know the "timeline" for Guild using rosewood and/or ebony for D-50 bridges? My 1971 D-50 came with a rosewood bridge, which I think was typical. But I'm asking because in photos I've seen recently of 1970, 71 and 72 D-50's, some bridges are rosewood, others are either ebony or very dark rosewood, hard to tell. Similar question with pickguards - tortoise or black? Just curious if, during those years, Guild was consistent or if those parts varied, if they just used what was available.
