That spruce has a ring that's totally enchanting.
I have two of them now, and the first, a '73 orphan from Denver CO, my first re-Guild that wasn't a 12 string, I just fell in love with it. Everyday, I would just dream of getting to play it, it would get me through the day, even if it was only five minutes before somebody yells at you or the phone rings...
The second, a '71 I got this year (still don't know why), really clean one in the original blue velvet lined case, is bassier with higher action (actually has a saddle!
, and I tuned it to open D, and wow wow wow.
Even last night, I got compliments from her, that usually barely tolerates guitaring, but this is different.
I gotta say, that's one of the finest open tuning guitars I've ever heard.
I quit playing three times, and started again, even though each time I about fell asleep... Eventually quit at ten to midnight. Recorded some.
Now that you have two, try some open D and grab a bottleneck slide, and explore.
I'm still trying to cut the perfect bottleneck slide from wine bottles. It's tricky, so far I only have one perfect one without a crack.
Just take a decent bottle your preferred finger likes (middle for me, leaves 1-3-4 for fingering chords), trace a straight line around it with a sharpie (or try

I have a lot of slides, and on the D35 I like glass the best. Couldn't find my best one last night (Rock Slide, great slides and I know the guy), so I used what was my favorite on electric slide, like on my P90 LP Special, which is a vintage Craftsman 3/8" drive 13/16" spark plug socket (very thin walled) with the drive end cut off, it's light, stays on good and sounds incredible.
I put in my time with Rumours for sure.
