Hope everyone here is well! Looking for a ‘66-‘68 D40, D44, F47, or F50, or ‘68 D35. Will pay fair price. Thanks for any leads! Best, Donny

Got this one from Tom Jacobs, and my first impression is I like it a lot. It has a sweet and thumpy sound. I’ll get a video together soon. I’m also a fan of good chipboard cases (light and compact), and this appears to be the original Guild case, and these are about the best chipboards I’ve...

So I have not been active much here for awhile because I have to admit I've been on "the dark side"- i.e., mostly content with my '68 Gibson J50. In the back of my mind however, I was never fully comfortable with a Gibson. So when I stumbled across Richard's '67 D40 Electric for sale, and he...

Jake Wildwood did this one over fully, and the work is great. This is overall probably the best D40 I’ve had and one of the best Guilds. It’s a beater but all good where it counts, and balanced by the work done IMO. Linking to Jake’s blog post, as his details and photos are better than I could...

As I was waiting for the F30, I felt compelled to take a gamble on a ‘67 D40 that Jake Wildwood had listed. I’m glad I did because I like this a lot more than the F30. First impressions is this is a bit of a cross between my old ‘67 D44 and ‘68 D40, which is kind of what I’ve been looking for...

https://bernunzio.com/product/guild-f-30-nt-28105/ I randomly saw this last week and grabbed it pretty quick, as the price was right. I’ve never owned an F30, so curious if it will be too small for me, as the F47 seemed just right.

A bit of a long shot- anyone have any leads?

Has anyone (other than Hans I'm sure) seen an actual 1968 D25? I think I've only seen one online ever. Asking because I am waiting on some pics and may buy one that seems to basically be a closet classic at a reasonable price.

I received the ‘67 F47 last night. Right off the bat- first impression is it’s the best guitar I’ve ever played. It’s really balanced and articulate, deep but not boomy. Very different from the F212s, surprisingly. It plays very well with low action, however I’m thinking the bridge may have...

After owning maybe 25 acoustic Guilds from 1964-1975 (and playing a handful more than that), I come to the following surprising conclusion: I like Westerly Guilds more than Hoboken. I think I've wanted to like Hobokens more, but ultimately the early Westerlys are always preferable to me. I...

Thought I would share my very thorough and scientific comparison (an iPhone sitting on a chair with a couple random similar riffs) on the ‘66 D40 vs. the ‘68 D35: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/zjfD8d5rLw5ktttz6 Even this rough and dirty comparison I think gets to the heart of the differences...

I was gonna do a "new guitar day" post, but I decided to sell this one. Thought you guys might wanna see the video demo though: One thing really cool about this one is the super clean original case, and the unopened polishing cloth and SEALED case key envelope: Biggest bummer is someone...

I have a line on a ghost label M30 (no, not the one on Reverb, oddly)- I’m going to check this out tonight. I’m not well versed on this period of Guilds, so any tips or pointers are welcomed. What I know is that it supposedly plays very well with low action, and has some cracks on the back...

I know this has been discussed in the past, but the time seems ripe for a new angle: I’m interested in hearing from folks on their thoughts between the differences in these two models- mostly from the angle of the original designs. Other threads have pointed out the 1968 (year of D35...

I’ve been fairly content with my ‘68 D35 ... but I keep perusing Reverb for entertainment and saw this listed for $899. I sent in what I thought was a lowball offer of $600, which was promptly accepted (actually started with $500, which was auto rejected ha). The description reads “It plays...

I just released my new set of recordings- and as some of you may be aware, I went through a number of vintage Guilds over the past few months. Many of these ended up being used on these recordings, so I thought we could play a little game of Guess the Guild. Here is the 14-song album...

Been through quite a few guitars lately- wrapping up a recording project now and just got this D35 from Seth/Bonneville. Big WOW on this one- a balanced and woody sounding guitar that in some ways is better than my ‘67 D44 (which is back for sale) and the ‘68 D40 I had for a bit. I have to...

Previous buyer backed out, so I’ve got this one on the auction block: https://reverb.com/item/40030458-1967-guild-d44-bluegrass-jubilee-pearwood-d40-vintage-acoustic-hoboken $1875 shipped for LTG members (about my break-even on this one- DM me), looking to clear space for an incoming Guild or...

It caught me at the right moment (missing the D40 thump and semi-accidentally selling the easy breezy D44- yes I might be crazy ... though in fairness I wrote some songs on each, and got some recordings with them- they served their purpose well), so ... I bought a certain storied '71 F50 from a...

Anyone want this? It was in the case of my D44, but clearly is not from 1967 ... assuming maybe this guitar got service from Guild in the '90s? In any case, I don't need it- mint condition. Also curious about the WI mailing address.
