Greetings. New to this forum. Appreciate you all adding me.
move got an old Guild D25 I purchased years ago as a refurbishment project. It had been thru the ringer. Cracks, splits, a big gouge. Shrinking pickguard that created some splits. Anyways, I did all the repairs. Never totally completed the finish, but it’s a player.
tonight I started investigating it’s beginnings. When I purchased it, I was told 1970, but that’s not adding up with what I’ve uncovered online.
it has no serial number on the headstock.
the label in the sound hole says made in Hoboken. D25. Serial number OG 269.
inside on the neck heal it’s stamped OG 269…. I’ll try to attach some pics. I’d appreciate any feedback, thoughts, insight.
thx
PS, I put on these tuning machines as the original was missing a screw in one machine/cog and it would never stay in tune. G string. I still have the originals.
