congrats refret. Hey not sure if I asked before but where are you located in Jersey. I am in the Cherry Hill area. Just wondering. Maybe we can do a get together and swap Guilds :wink:

Jeez -- a D-50 for 330 bucks?! Even with no info and few pics, well worth the risk. Let us know how it stacks up once it arrives. (And congrats!)

I hope it all works out for you.
We will be waiting for a full report when the guitar shows up.

 

[refret]

Well, it showed up. First once over:
Bridge has been sanded and is pulling up.
Fretboard extension was removed and replaced with an ebony look alike.
Bridgeplate is cracked. (Hence the lifting bridge.)
Will need a neck reset.
Strings are from the Reagan administration.
To do:
Replace fretboard.
Make new bridge.
Replace bridgeplate with maple.
Reset neck.
All in all, for $330.00 I'm good.

 

[taabru45]

Save those strings, the Reagan era ones are really hard to come by. :lol: Steffan

Respect for bringing back these so worthy, older Guild acoustics.
