I read where there was a guild model with the Spanish heel.But was told I misread ??? Also confirmed on this site that there were D 40,s produced with single piece necks.
My customer has a 1969 D 40, but It has the same neck as my D35 single piece neck.
My question is ,is that an uncommon change for guild at that time,or was it a common
Change. As every D 40 I've seen has been a 3 piece neck.
It is a 1969 model D 40. With a single piece neck, exactly like my D 35.sorry ,I don't have pics, he took the guitar home after I made a couple repairs to the bridge.
It is a D 40. But it's got the same neck as my D 35. And yes there were some Spanish heel neck type installs. But truly, I'm not interested in that .just the notion of the d35 neck being on his d40.if he brings it by again I'll get a Pic. Thank you
In conversing with a friend.
He owns a 1969 F 40..However the neck appears to be more like a D 35. Is it possible this came from Guild this way.
.He is the original owner.This would be the Era of what's called Spanish heel neck mount.
April 2022, had left inner ear removed due to cancer. I only hear out of right side.lol. I get told I can't hear worth crap daily. Still play a few hours every day
I actually have two . An exotic oregon myrtle wood. And a signature concerto model my daughter and son in law gifted to me. Good guitars, I'm just not sure the torrefied top on the signature model makes that much difference
I made mine from a piece of mahogany I have in my shop. I don't like to just fill original holes with glue. Buy a thin sheet or a piece of mahogany and just shave some toothpick sized strips. Or not.
