Dear Guild forum members,
I just bought a guitar that was advertised as an "old Guild acoustic". When looking at the pictures of the ad, I assumed it was a D-25 (there was just one crappy/blurry picture of a red guitar).
So I went to his place and bought it. Serial number is inked, not stamped, and reads 132134 (or 13213X, the last 3 digits are barely visible). Which dates the guitar as a 1976 model, apparently .
Now the catch: the tuners are typical of a D-35 (one tuner was changed, see picture), there is no label inside but there is a tiny stamp on the neck block inside of the guitar which reads D-35, but the guitar is cherry red... I have not cleaned the guitar obviously yet and it is in the condition I bought it...
Now my question: is this a D-35 or a D-25?? I have never seen a cherry red D-35, whereas I have seen plenty of cherry red D-25. What are your views on the matter?
Many thanks and have a good week-end.
