Bit of a veer, but are you suggesting that the Westerly Collection guitars are significantly more expensive to refret? If so, I'm curious why that is - poly finish on the neck? Relevant to my interests as I've got two of them (no major issues so far!), one of which I play enough that it's going...

Not my favorite Mountain Goats video, but it's the only one I've seen where John Darnielle is playing this guitar - I think it might be a D-40 from a time when they were made without the Chesterfield?

I've played violin since I was a kid, and viola since high school. Played in school/youth/college orchestras, and more recently in a local community orchestra, mostly on viola. I'm taking a break from the orchestra and have been enjoying playing chamber music more lately, but I'm sure I'll come...

They're all regions of Spain, which has a long guitar-playing history, but other than that I don't know why they were chosen.

Something about the look of that finish makes me feel like I could tear through it and get at a better-looking guitar inside. Like it's black shrink-wrap or something.

I'm certainly not the authority on this but I don't think I've ever seen any objection to members posting non-Guild gear for sale. Someone just posted a Les Paul recently, for instance.

Looks like Olivia Rodrigo's bassist (Moa Munoz, according to the credits) is playing an SF-I bass here:

My favorite composer is Shostakovich, and my favorite piece of his is the Fifth Symphony: Other great pieces of his that I recommend checking out: Symphonies Nos. 10 and 13, String Quartet No. 8, Piano Trio No. 2, the Viola Sonata Britten's Violin Concerto is also very good:

Usually, sure, but I think the natural ash back and sides on the D-46 look cool enough that I personally like the decision to leave them be on this one.

Favorite that I've owned is my D-140. Favorite that I've played is probably a D-20, but I haven't played (or owned) nearly enough different ones!

The pin is free, but the DV-72CL or DV-76 I'm going to have to get to match it won't be! I think I'm joking...for now... Thanks Aristera!

It turns out that my 2016 F-1512 has two truss rods. Both nuts are very slightly recessed into the brace above the soundhole, less than half an inch from the top of the soundhole.

If I remember, I can take a look at my F-1512 tomorrow and check how far back the truss rod nut is on it. Don't think I've needed to adjust it myself. Edit: I believe you're correct that it's a bolt-on neck.

Wow, two of them! They are pretty nice!

I'm sure you'll explain the situation if you ever sell it, but when the next person sells it years from now, I imagine we'll all be scratching our heads looking at the Craigslist post and trying to figure out what model it is! (Or maybe we'll remember this thread 😀)

For me, probably a D-20; maybe another all-mahogany dreadnought or a Bluesbird. But it could definitely be something I'm not expecting! (And recently I've been thinking about a Les Paul, which might be more practical to get than another acoustic but would push my next Guild purchase out a good bit.)

Best of luck with the surgery, and enjoy the D-140!

I remember him referring to a D-25BR, but I believe that was BR for brown finish rather than Brazilian rosewood, and that he had (or has) one of the all-mahogany versions of the model.

I like to see it too! If this means the D-140 has been, or will be, getting into more people's hands, I think that's great - it's a really good guitar. The new colors look good too; I like the cherry burst though I probably still prefer the natural finish. I would have said they made an F-250...
