Saw a d4 nt true american today advertised. It was my understanding that d 4,s were a pretty much stripped down d 25, available only in a hand rubbed finish. The one im seeing is definately a high gloss ,top, sides, back ,and neck.listing does not say, if it was refinished. Did guild do high gloss on these ,maybe in the later years??? just curious

NGD: D-4
Well, Santa and his elves completely surprised me for Christmas. He doesn’t usually bring me guitars (because I’m so picky), but I think he overheard me gushing (for weeks) about the archback design of the DCE3 because he brought me a D-4. You could have knocked me over with a feather! I’m going...

I recently acquired one of the glossy versions of the D4s and and I love it. Originally the price point was $245.00 more than the satin / HR (hand-rubbed) version, and IMO that increase was justified -- they out-perform the regular D4 sound-wise, and have more in common with some of Guild's higher-end D series models.
If you have a chance to play the guitar, check it out.

A lot of the early D4s and DCE1s are satin finish, vs handrubbed or high gloss. I like them all.

I've had a Tru American F5CE, and F4CE and a Songbird in hand rubbed and like that finish a lot. Prefer it really to high gloss.
