I only mentioned Tacoma as I know the lack of labels happened sometime -after- Tacoma since my D55 still had one. But again, I digress as I’ve gotten far off topic. Back to the rosewood!
Yea,
I’ll know once it arrives. The pics I have don’t show very well for color designation. So
I’ll have to wait until it arrives. (I’d do a buck as well cause I’m not a gambling man either) all my extra coin goes towards Guilds

You could almost say 7 years as CMG bought Guild in 2014 already. Sure with production starting end of 2015 it's 5 1/2 years now. But in any case longer than New York, Corona and Tacoma and as long as New Hartford (5 1/2 years production) already! But New Hartford had for their 5 1/2 years production an extremely broad range of models in production! Shows how great they were there. But yes, CMG is at least doing a good job to keep the brand running.
In terms of quality and number of models made there I think New Hartford was great!
Out to pasture at least means still alive. In this case maybe we ought be glad it didn't wind up in the glue factory.
My buddy's '75 D35 is tobacco 'burst.
I don't think it's Amber, and while I suspect it's actually something about the lighting that's allowing the edges to appear so "faded"especially on the upper bout but it might also actually be somewhat "undersprayed"congrats on the purchase! i'd say u did pretty good if it is as clean as the seller claims. it certainly looks clean.
not the best picture but this could be amber burst, antique burst, or sun burst. have seen "ice tea burst" used in assoication with Tacoma Guilds, that looked like this. but never seen that on a Guild label that I can recall.
"tobbaco burst" i would not associate with this guitar

Here are couple more pics with somewhat better lighting that the seller sent me. You will notice a reflection at bottom of guitar in one of the photos, It’s a women’s shoe reflecting in the finish. I asked seller if he had all original case candy and he said yes and has included it all with the sale, factory hang tags, polish cloth truss rod wrench and misc paperwork. He stated that he bought it new but never played it, sat in its case other than checking on it and humidifying it. I’m feeling rather fortunate so far, It should arrive first part of next week. Looking forward to new guitar day!congrats on the purchase! i'd say u did pretty good if it is as clean as the seller claims. it certainly looks clean.

Tobacco Sunburst has nothing to do with a mahogany top. Look at all the Les Pauls.

Hans had posted that picture of my '87 Nightbird when he owned her with different pickups and he called her "Tobacco Sunburst" (which was not a regular color code):
