    Sold Artist Award

    WOW, she’s a beauty Rich! Even the truss rod cover is a thing of beauty. I am SO tempted, but I’m kind of holding out for the right Benedetto Artist Award to come along for lighter build and more modern PUP. I wish you were local so I could try. Good luck on the sale, this one won’t last long.

    Guild reboots the Standard series!

    Are they going to consolidate the D40 on the standard line and get rid of the traditional? Both appear on the website for now. I also wonder if they will introduce a D50 Traditional?

    Why I went with Tacoma over NH

    Thanks, though I already had a thread discussing my preference here: https://letstalkguild.com/ltg/index.php?threads/ngd-d-50-2x.213659/ Can you please merge this thread over there? Thanks!

    Why I went with Tacoma over NH

    Hi richt54, While the condition and looks are superior on the Tacoma, I preferred the tone and feel of the neck a bit more on the NH for flat picking. Tone/Playability always trumps Condition/Looks in my book. Ideally I will find a sunburst D-50 in pristine condition that sounds better than...

    FS 2006 D-50 Traditional

    I picked this up on reverb a few weeks ago to try against a 2014. I like the 2014 a bit more, so I'm putting this up for sale. I'm not looking to profit from the sale. Not looking to trade, unless it's for another D-50 Tacoma or New Hartford in sunburst. Please let me know if you have any...

    Why I went with Tacoma over NH

    Good question. I changed the strings on both guitars at same time to light (12‘s) phosphor bronze (D’Addario EJ16) when I did the comparison.

    Why I went with Tacoma over NH

    Howdy Y-all, On my hunt for a Tacoma or New Hartford D-50, I've done gone and bought one of each! Inspired by richt54 D-50 comparison thread and wanting to obtain 'the one', I ended up getting both, with the intention of keeping only one. The first is a NH 2014 D-50 I obtained from another LTG...

    WTB D-50 Traditional Bluegrass Special Tacoma/New Hartford

    I saw this one a couple of weeks ago, thanks. No pick guard, condition is only player grade, and when I first inquired, he wanted even more money than listed now. I would have pursued this one further if it didn't have so many knocks against it, in particular lack of pick guard. He is willing to...

    WTB D-50 Traditional Bluegrass Special Tacoma/New Hartford

    Hi Landseagoods, I saw your listing. Sorry, no room in my closet or budget at this time for a D-55, maybe someday. There's a new Oxnard D-55-SB coming into my local dealer's shop soon that I'm looking forward to checking out, but it would have to be something really stellar to get me motivated...

    Hi Boneman, Yes, I saw that one, thank you. It’s a Westerly though, and I am looking for a Tacoma or New Hartford. But thanks anyway. Love the burst on that one though, she is a beauty! Cheers, Mandoman

    WTB D-50 Traditional Bluegrass Special Tacoma/New Hartford

    Hi PreacherBob, Thanks for the pointer. I saw that too on Ebay, it's been up for quite some time. My only trepidation is non-original gator case and the bridge was re-glued, otherwise it looks pretty good. I heard the Tacoma's have chunkier necks which I think I would like. At this point, I'm...
