A couple auction site ?’s
Hey guys,
Just returned home from the west coast - I hit a couple music shops you recommended. No Guilds as you predicted, but played a couple nice guitars and had some good conversations.
Just checking out some stuff on eBay. There is a 2008 D55 and a 1984 D70. For the sake of my education, I have a couple questions.
2008 Tacoma - that was last year of Tacoma correct? Do I remember some saying that you want to be careful with the last year of Tacoma because they sold off inventory that may not have been QA’d to exacting standards as they were closing the plant? Or maybe that was a different plant or didn’t even happen and those are just rumors/gossip?
D70 - I’m not yet familiar with this model. The description seems to suggest it is a bling’d up D-55 (which is hard to believe as d-55’s seem about as nice as a guitar can be to my intermediate playing eyes). It seems to suggest it is rare too? Right now the price is low relative to D55s, but I assume that will jump at the end. I’m not planning to buy - just want to learn more about this new to me model.
Thanks in advance for my ongoing Guild-ucation.
