Hey Donny, thanks so much for sharing your experience. So from the pictures I just received from the seller, the original “through-saddle” was modified to accommodate a drop-in saddle. You can see it was filled in with rosewood on either side. Going to have to ask my luthier's opinion on this...

That's awesome, glad you like it. I guess the neck reset made the bridge doctor unnecessary? Does yours have a drop-in saddle? When I get my hands on this 67 D-40, I will post back with a more detailed review. I know there are no cracks, no finish issues, just good old honest play ware you would...

Could be, waiting for a response from the seller. What I do know is the original owner had it for 50 years before selling it to a collector who had it checked out before buying it. I looked at other pics of D-40s from 1967 and the bridge seems to be the same length, aside from the saddle being a...

Wow thanks for your input Hans! I was later told that the D40s made in Hoboken did not have the Chesterfield logo on the headstock, that they started doing that at the Westerly factory... glad I now have the definitive answer. Don't get me wrong, it would have been fine had it been built at...

Thanks Norrissey! How do you like your '71 D40NT?

Hi Guys, Just picked up a 1967 Guild D-40. As I eagerly await its arrival, I've been researching its origins. The serial number is AJ2176, so that would indicate is was made in late 67. The label says it was made in Hoboken, but its come to my attention it could have been made in Westerly as...

Had a F55e, sounded good. As D30Man says, dry woody tone, not super loud but loud enough. Deep low e but focused. Great for alt tunings. The only negative I found was it would easily go out of tune if you would really dig in. My NH D55 is always in tune no matter how hard I play it. I...

The string break angle over the saddle actually looks pretty decent considering the age of the guitar. Too bad he didn't show a picture of where the straight edge lines up with the bridge (for the neck angle), but judging by the action at 12th fret, it looks like a neck reset wouldn't be needed...

I'd say its somewhere in between 1-5/8 and 1 11/16. So maybe mine is just a 1 11/16 on the narrow end of the 1/32 tolerance.

If its any consolation, I too was worried about the 1 5/8" nut on my 65, however, after consulting with my luthier for a neck reset, it's possible to swap out the nut and increase string spacing to something similar to what you would find on a 1 11/16" nut. The fingerboard is wide enough to...

Hadn't seen the Doyle Dykes video, thanks for that. After hearing him play the D55, can't help but hear similarities with the F55 I played over the last year. Totally different to the NH D55 I own. Oxnard's definitely have their own unique sound.

Totally agree... so much so, I finally decided to invest in my 65 F30 to have the neck reset, refret and new bridge plate. I originally purchased mine for just under 1G$. Probably won't get my money back if I ever sell it (which I don't plan to), but the tone on this guitar is so sweet, worth...

So do I. It's why I love my '65 Hoboken F30. It's so light in contrast to other Guilds I've played and gives it a unique vintage tone and very responsive. Probably one of my favorites. Wow, that's an awesome guitar. I actually tried an OM-28 Modern Deluxe which was incredible but outside my...

For what its worth, I had a 2017 Oxnard F55e Sunburst for about a year. Just sold the guitar. It was a difficult decision... the F55 sounded great, tons of low end and sparkling highs, nice slim comfortable neck. Could have kept it, but have been gasing for a Martin OM-28, so had to let it go to...

My all around go to pick: Dunlop ULTEX .73mm

Yep... +1

The biggest difference for me is comfort. The slope shoulder feels more compact to me. Plus its easy on the eyes :-)

Gorgeous! Makes me feel all tingly inside... somebody please relieve me of GAS attack and pick this up while I still have some will power left! Good luck with the sale :-)

Surprising as it may be, that extra 1/32 makes a difference. At least to me. It's my Goldilocks rule: 1 11/16 - A little too tight 1 3/4 - A little too wide 1 23/32 - Just right I know many NH F50 owners have said that their Guild is listed at 1 11/16, but in actuality, they're a bit wider...
