I actually think the D40 is more "iconic" than the D25, given the visibility it got in the film Woodstock and Richie Havens' career-long endorsement and use. They even built a signature model acknowledging his tie to the instrument.Other than the D25, is there any other mahogany model considered "iconic"?

Sure the D25 sold more tan all other Guilds combined as of '97, but off the top of your head can you name anybody of Haven's stature so intimately connected with it?
Yer welcome and believe me it wasn't an easy realization for me, my own D25 being my first Guild.Fair point. Thanks for the reply!
Not mine..My desire comes from it sharing the outline of my F65ce, which has become my go-to for playing comfort, and an "R" because I want to get some rosewood in the collection.Also, love my (formerly your) F47kc, and share your desire for another F47.

I can't pick just 2, in fact since I wouldn't give up any of mine and still have one more "pipe dream" in mind (an F47Rce), I'd put the minimum number at 4.
But I think I'd be ok stopping there.
Not a problem. In fact I'm complemented.Argh - for some reason I get you and RayK confused. I think because you have similar avatars. Sorry. At any rate, it's a worthwhile pursuit, IMO.
Lol at Havens only having the one pick guard. See, any D40 from the old days is a Richie Havens D40.
Prob'ly true, but then I wonder, would they even recognize any "iconic" Guild?I bet if you asked most people under 40 they’d have no idea who Richie Havens is.
I'd pair 'em up and keep both pair.Okay let's be real!! Tell me what you'd keep. I won't hate you for your decision!! But I may judge you!!
YOU ONLY GET TWO!!
SO....
