In 1974 my grandmother purchased this Guild for my Uncle. I used to stay at her house every summer and when I was 11 years old I found this guitar in her basement, opened the case, and my 27 year journey of playing guitar started. In 2005 I was forced to sell the guitar (Guitar Center Towson MD), and it just killed me. Over the years I've been trying to track it down, but with no luck. Recently, my grandmother passed away and we actually found the original receipt and hang tags in her home. She used to save everything and on the receipt was the serial number (105601), so there was a glimmer of hope that I could possibly bring it back to the family. Attached is the receipt image - purchased at Spratt Guitars where I took my first guitar lesson with the same instructor that taught my uncle. Guitar Center knows who bought the guitar, but they won't share the information with me. If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it and I will try to return the favor one day. Thanks!
