I overhauled a severely dehydrated and sorry looking D4 NT-HR a couple of years ago. I learned a lot. Mainly, that they're a fantastic sounding entry-level Guild. Those curved backs (like the one on my D-25) really adds a punch. You won't be sorry.

Welcome (officially) to LTG!

What a great first post. I love hearing stories that go with guitars. They're an extension of ourselves in some ways.

I think you're right Dread. Slight veer but are there other makers who made guitars with unbraced arched backs?

You love your D25 as much as I love mine, Dreadnut. I got mine out of it's case after a month of not playing it (which is a long time for me - I recently bought an Eastman E10SS I've been very much obsessed with) and was taken aback how much it rings! It is my one true "keeper". The others are...

A great story and a beautiful guitar. I love it when these things go hand in hand.

Welcome to LTG! and what a fantastic looking guitar. We're all drooling over it. Looks like it was in time capsule since 1981. Wow! This is a great forum so check in often and soak up all the good vibes and info. Cheers!

Having lost two friends this year... 1. My health (both physical and mental) 2. My wife and kids 3. My extended family who I haven't seen in over two years (live abroad, COVID, etc) The list could go on

Totally agree with you Dread. I've heard people be sniffy about this era with justification.

Love my D50 - it was my first Guild and first guitar of any real quality. Yours looks amazing - congrats!

Like the barrel. It was (relatively) chunky neck for sure.

I'm glad the subject of F-40s came up. A few months back a friend of mine (and fellow LTG'r) lent me his 1954 (?) F-40. It's the oldest Guild I've ever played. It took a while to open up after not being played for while but sounded great when it did. The thing I noticed was the size of the...

Thanks so much for this decoder. I've been curious/confused about 12 string numbers for YEARS.

Word got out what D25s have to offer

Sorry to hear that Westerly. A beautiful arrangement and a lovely way to say farewell. Good vibes to you.

I'm looking forward to this one.....

And I LOVE yours in a burst finish. Congratulations again. Great find.

Welcome to LTG JLo618, others here have answered your questions with more authority than I but I also have a D-25M from 1981. It's a fabulous guitar, congratulations . Mine also came with it's original case and booklet (normally a sign it's been at least half cared for). Stick around on the...

I was playing my D25M only last night and thought: this is probably the best sounding guitar I own. I put it down to the arched back. I absolutely love mine. Will never sell it.

Wonderful looking guitar. Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations. What are the differences between the D-55 and D-100 ? Many thanks
