Moving to full-time mobile life and this guitar needs a home where it can get proper care.
D35 serial # 64227, which I believe puts it in 1972. Bought it in upstate NY in 2019 - my first Guild - it was a mess. Sticky stuff all over the fretboard, bridge was lifted (I did not know what I was doing buying vintage guitars, safe to say). Pro luthier friend of mine cleaned it up and glued down the bridge. Our best guess was a garage guitar that got put away dirty - seller said it hadn't been touched in 40 years.
Goods: feels like a 'lighter' build of that era. No apparent cracks in neck or body. Action's just fine on the cowboy chords. Looks like original tuners. Thick sound strung up and full resonance across the top and body.
Bads: Higher action down the neck requiring a reset or maybe a bridge doctor. No original TRC (new one not in photos). Bridge needs repair of crack running between peg holes. Has endpin which doesn't want to stay in. Needs saddle and nut. Bridge does seem to be of full thickness.
Asking $400. More photos and video of it in action on request.
Leaving Eastern Shore of MD this week for Arizona. If you're along that very long route and interested, don't hesitate!
