The D-25M is the only one I still own and it serves me well. Hey, you can only play one at a time, right? Sorry about the focus, it's a photo of a photo.

I think that the D-55 and F-512 are probably the most tasteful "blinged" guitars out there. Nothing against Gibson but some of their more "ornate" models look like cheap street walkers compared to these two Guilds.

I'm a little jealous, I'm trying to get down to a lot less as well.

It's actually not a D-55 beecee, it's a DV-52 customized with abalone blocks (before I bought it.) My son owns it now.

OK, "some." Not my Songwriter 12, of course! :tiger:

Funny how we read posts of others on this forum and get into our minds pictures of what the writer looks like or what kind of personality they have. Well Dread I had preconceived ideas of what you were like (good of course) but when you gave your son your DV52 for his college graduation gift, your ladder got a couple extra "rungs."

Sorry Beecee, but nobody does a burst like Gibson :)

I'm not too sure. While yours is gorgeous, take a peek at Cougars JF-30-12. Makes up for that bridge on his Songwriter. (Ducks quickly).

Ah yes I remember the picture of him playing it pre graduation, very nice.

Yeah, somehow Corona really put out some super "teardrop" bursts. I got super lucky....

Haha. Hey, a mustache is supposed to grow on you, right?

Here's a better photo of the DV-52 as long as we're comparing 'bursts...

Ohh, I can feel the mojo on that one from here! Your son is v-e-r-y lucky indeed.

Sorry btw for hijacking your thread... seams like its become a "burst" thread
