    D-35, early 1970's .... - Part II

    Purely fictional but how about: "Played some flamenco guitar in a honky-tonk bar and someone winged a beer bottle at the stage while the previous owner was playing"? There is a round indentation at the point of impact...

    D-35, early 1970's .... - Part II

    Warning: Graphic Photo! Squeamish players should avert their vision.... (Disclaimer: no damage shown (except for aging conditions) occurred after I acquire the guitar in the '80s). The picture definitely over-emphasizes the depth of the scratches, but unfortunately not the ding..... When I...

    D-35, early 1970's .... - Part II

    There is a little uplift behind the bridge that I can see and feel. I don't think I'll open it up at this time, maybe the next owner in another 50 years...... It has been fun and informative getting back into playing and finding out so much that I didn't know about my Guild, of course my only...

NC seems like a strange place for a flamenco guitar to end up in a pawn shop. Were the D-35s marketed as...

    No, the clear plastic piece (pickguard may not be the correct term?) was on it when I bought it and I have not removed it as I am unsure what effect it would have on the wood, it has a regular pickguard.

    D-35, early 1970's, best investment ever

    New member here, recently had more time on my hands so found time to play again In 1984 I bought a very used D-35 (I just liked the guitar and had no idea about the brand at the time) from a pawn shop in Fayettville NC on a whim for $35, it was obviously used as a gig guitar with a lot of use...
