So, a while back I sold another Guild that I absolutely loved and to this day can't explain why I sold it. It was a 2001 D 30 in the Tennessee Orange color with factory installed electronics. I regretted selling that guitar from day one. I've never seen another one listed in that color ever. Cruising Reverb a few minutes ago I saw it listed there along with my word for word description and my pics all from when I originally sold it. I messaged the guy and he said yup, he bought it from me and regretted selling it now but cash was really tight for him. So, I made him an offer he accepted. I guess God really is watching out for me and is helping me to correct stupid things that I continue to do. He's gonna have to put in some overtime though 'cause I've come up with a few lulus lately.

That's great! Yes that was a nice looking one you had. There were not many at least in that color.

Congratulations! You ought to move to Tennessee. Every time the word Tennessee shows up, you get that "feel good" all over you.
Johnny G. In Tennessee has been blessed because you showed unexpected kindness to him.
So glad you got the D30 back.

Boomerang relationships, boomerang kids, boomerang employees, and this is not the first boomerang guitar I've heard about around here. Stuball is right - your good karma is at work.

I love a happy ending! :sentimental:

No, no, you had it right the first time. You entered The Twilight Zone, where such things can come right out of the blue!

BTW, where are those pics?

Seems like there's a Twilight zone episode for every occasion:

I just know there's an implicit moral message in there somewhere.

I have a similar story. Some time back, I bought q DV-52 satin finish from a guy who needed cash. That guitar was in pristine condition and made me a lover of Guild DV models. Later I sold it to buy a DV-72. Not too long later, the purchaser decided he needed a cheaper guitar (for some unexplained reason). I informed the guy I had bought it from to make an offer. It ws accepted and back it went to the "original" owner in the triangle. So goes the perigrinations of our Guilds.
