    68 F-20: pick guard question

    See Reverb listing for a 1968 F-20 (no affiliation) - I’ve not seen an early style D-25/35 pickguard on an F-20 before - is that ‘normal’? Makes sense year wise…...

    Two serial numbers on a label?

    D-35 just posted to Reverb shows a label with a second number written at the bottom of the label. I know that Guild used a secondary (ink-stamped) date code at the bottom of some labels in the early seventies, but this seems more like a second serial number(?) – and is hand written (though not...

    Sunburst finish on a 64 T-100

    This listing just posted on Reverb. Cool old Slim Jim, but the sunburst seems pretty ‘severe’ - doesn’t look Guild-like to me. Obviously old, but do you think the sunburst is original...

    Curious bridge adjustment

    A ‘72 D-40 just popped up on Reverb, and has an OK price, but has an unusual recess routed under the bridge pins. Curious. To help create a better break angle over the saddle? Have not seen this before...

    65 D-44 on Reverb

    Pretty nice looking first-year D-44 available on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/58943527-60-s-guild-d-44?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=58943527 Owner says it plays fine but that he’s not really an acoustic player. The crack by the...

    Guild F-20 on Reverb

    Question about this F-20 currently on Reverb: https://reverb.com/item/57721178-guild-f-20-acoustic-guitar-with-case-made-in-new-jersey Serial # 41792. So is this a 65? Was this shade of sunburst available as standard or would it be custom?

    NGD: 67 D-40

    Just purchased a 1967 D-40 from the nice folks at Guitar Hangar in CT. Oh my! This is the 'punchiest' Guild I've ever owned – loud, bright (in a good way), articulate, and lightweight. This 4.8 pounder will knock you out! And... how 'bout that label..!

    Maple-glazed Guild for the holidays?

    I know it's only May, but today I acquired a truly delicious 72 D-44M: It has the funkiest TS pickguard I've ever seen: When I first saw the photos, I thought the guard had deteriorated, but it's actually just a big section of 'clear' tortoiseshell. I like it! Oh, about the...

    DV-52 HG?

    There was a 97-98 DV-52 HG posted Reverb for a matter of minutes this afternoon. Anyone snag it? I've always felt this was a kind of an under-appreciated model. Especially considering what Gibbys and Martins are fetching these days, whoever got today's DV-52 made a great choice, and a great deal.

    F-30 specs over the years

    I have a hard time utilizing the search function of the site, so will ask I’m sure a redundant question: has anyone documented the different build specs for F-30s? My 1970 is flat-backed with bracing, but I presume many (most) were arched backed? Seems like the body shape has differed over time...

    What about tangerine

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 720wt_1132 What's the deal with a "tangerine" finish? The link above shows a D30 with this orangey skin. I'm not sure if I think it's hideous or if I like it, but I'm curious about it's place in the Guild line. Did they officially offer tangerine as a...

    1975 Guild M-80-C-CUAL on ebay: what's a CUAL?

    Hey, an M80... but what's up with the CUAL designation? Five knobs, two toggles (plus the pickup selector). Has anybody ever seen this configuration? http://cgi.ebay.com/1975-Guild-M-80-C-C ... _500wt_913 $889 BIN by the way... John

    Old D25's on ebay

    There are a couple of old (1968) D25's currently listed on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 500wt_1120 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 133wt_1105 Both seem interesting to me. Neither are perfect by any means, and both are in the upper range (I think) price-wise...

    1995 Guild D26?

    I see a listing on ebay today for a 1995 Guild D-26. I've not heard of these! Like a D25 but fancier? (Gold appointments, really interesting Mahogany sides/back/neck – golden in color). Trés nice! Rare? (I'd assume so.) Valuable? Any insights? John...

    2002? D55

    I recently picked up a wonderful D55 (traded for it), that is supposedly a 2002 model: serial number AD552242. It has a later Westerly tag inside (Guild Music), but I have not seen any site that lists serial numbers for instruments from this period (most lists seem to end at '99. Fender's Guild...

    D25 vs D4

    Perhaps this is a rudimentary question, but what is the difference between a D25 and a D4? I'm aware that there are different configurations of the D25, and its much longer history, but a D4 is an arched and hog-backed, spruce-top dread - so what's the difference between, say an early-nineties...
