In honor of the "Boring Finishes" thread, I put these pics together. They're all original and are or were owned by me except for the X79 which I modified from blue one I have. I've seen a purple one, but the shade isn't quite right because I couldn't find the pic. If and when I do I'll update it to be more representative of the actual purple used.

Edited to add an update:

Here's the X79 in Purple for reference:

Any other purple Guilds? I've seen some purple bursts from the '80s that were pretty awful. :emmersed:

Realize that none of these are flattop acoustics. In that category, Guild these days are rather bland and their wood choices are traditional. No reason for that except that they're new. If you're asking about historic Guilds, I think GAD just proved you wrong. However, at this point in time and for a while, I'd expect, you'll have to branch out to other brands for fun finishes for flattop acoustics. I got a super nice Blue Breedlove that I'm crazy about. And a really beautiful myrtlewood one as well. Different sizes and colors and sounds. There's plenty of fun guitars out there to buy. Guild is just getting off the ground again. But I'd love to see an auditorium flattop acoustic in a really beautiful BLUE with some super nice inlays. Yup. But that's probably a ways off. :smiley_simmons:

Seems to me there was a time in the 90's when there were D-25s available in interesting and not traditional colors. perhaps assembling those pictures is someone's next project? :)

I’ve actually found enough pics for a rainbow of D25s but since none of them were mine the photos don’t match.

We had a thread reviewing all of the colors we could find pics of once, not just the '90's but mid-to-late '80's and up through Corona; but a lot of 'em succumbed to the great Photobucket debacle or just plain dead links.
Might try it again myself, though.

Ah, missed this before I posted that last one, but I think some of those colors were also electric colors.
Especially once Fender took over.
Like Nuuska's second Songbird, looks like Fender's "Torino Red", and the "Walnut" D30 in a concurrent thread, I'm betting it's actually an "electric" color from '90's until I find out otherwise.
