Thanks. I'll post a review once I've had a chance to give it a good spin.

Happy to say I just bought this D-40. I'm really looking forward to playing it. This is replacing my 79' D-40 SB which I really liked, but as I get older, I need something that's lighter and has a slimmer neck profile. I bought a 2012 F-20 last year that I instantly bonded with which made me...

I've owned 3 contemporary series guitars. I still have a CV2 and a CD1. I sold the CV1-C. The CV2 and CD1 are MIRC guitars, The CV1-C was not. Of the 3, only the CV1-C required some actual woodwork to set the neck correctly. The heel had not been properly adjusted at the factory. The neck on...

My experience with K&K has been very good. I put one in my CV2 that has an active volume control (I really like being able to adjust volume at the guitar) and it sounds great as long as I run it through a preamp with some eq control. Having said that, I don't think it's as good as the Seymour...

Thanks for the great replies. I thought that was the case. I sure love the results of labor. It is amazing that Guilds have been consistently good across so many owners and moves. I hope that will continue under Yamaha.

I have a question I'm thinking someone here will know the answer to. For a period of time in the early 2010s, after Fender purchased Ovation and moved Guild production to the Ovation factory in New Hartford, CT, they were making Ovations, Guilds, and Fender "custom" acoustics there at the same...

My favorite tonewood combination is on my CV-2 Contemporary, red spruce top and bracing, flamed maple back and sides. It's such a personal thing, but every time I play this guitar in front of others the first comments I get is how nice the tone is. When I was in college (a long, long time ago) I...

ReevesRd - Both of those have been up there for a long time. I really like the maple on the CD-2 but it's more than I'm willing to pay. Glad to see all of the comments from other Contemporary Series owners. Doc

Funny. It might be the same one. I don't think they made many of these.

That's a Goya Hills Are Alive model.

That's cool. Small world.

Here are a few photos of my CV-2. One is after I installed the K&K Mini with volume control. The others after I put on the custom Holter pickguard that Taylor Mullins made for me. If you need a custom pickguard, I highly recommend Holter. Taylor will made you exactly what you want. Doc

Here are a few photos of the CD-1 I purchased on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. I'm a bit hesitant to make this post for a couple of reasons. First, I've read a number of posts on this forum where people bash the Contemporary Series because of their "infamous" neck issues and the MIRC guitars. I...

Hey Charlie - I have beautiful JF-100 NT CRV. Would you be interested in trading? Doc

Hey F-412Spec - I sent you a private message about this guitar. Let me know. Regards - Doc

Hi All - This is guitar #2 in my Guild reduction campaign. I bought this from a dealer as a floor model. Added the soundhole pickup (sounds great) and bought a new old stock Guild case for it. One of the coolest guitars I've ever owned. I have it listed on Reverb for $1,199 plus shipping ($75)...

Hey Dread - I think it's a good price. Very cool guitar.

Hi All - I'm finally to the point where I need to let some of my Guilds move on. I just don't play them and I'm not a collector. Here is the first one. A very cool 1988 Songbird. I'll let it go to a LTG member for $1150 including shipping (Paypal Friends and Family, Venmo). Pictures, video, and...

Hey Tom - Good advice. My CV-2 is a MIRC but I knew that before purchasing.

Thanks Sal - Good info.
