Came across a very clean used late 90s D-V4 today at a local pawn shop, played it for a bit and really connected with it. I've been looking for a sub-$500 solid wood dreadnought to busk and travel with, and from the bit of research I did on LTG earlier, the D-V4's match up pretty well with some of the more pricey solid wood acoustics out there. Here's my main concern: somewhere in my Google-ing I remember coming across a few D-V4 owners who had experienced issues with humidity (one person even had the binding on their D-V4 began to peel away). Now, I try to baby my guitars as much as I can, but I'm at least hoping I can take this one outside every so often, and possibly do a bit of traveling between climates with it. Anyone else ever hear of humidity issues with these guitars?
The pawn shop is asking $695 (which I think is a little steep), but I think I can talk them down and I also have a couple things to trade in. Hoping I can make it happen...I haven't owned a Guild since I sold my '77 S-100 back in 2004!
