Hello Pike,
The original 6 Gruhn designed flattops were a separate group within the Guild line with structural and cosmetic specs that had not been traditional for Guild guitars. After George Gruhn became part of management and the new model designations were introduced, the 'Gruhn' models that stayed in the line were subject to various small changes, so it would be easier to produce them side-by-side with the traditional Guild models. Some of these changes were introduced gradually, so depending on when a particular D-60 was made it is more, or less, different from a D-66.
Sincerely,
Hans Moust

Did you snag one?
Yep, I snagged the one off e-bay with the bad neck binding repair.

I'll have the repair done properly and have the tiny top ding repaired as well.

Beat me out on that one, Pike.
Another example how we can assist each other a bid on this board - had I known another LTGer was working on it, I could have stayed out - as it was, my last-minute snipe cost you a hundred bucks or so - sorry.

Yep, FNG, saw that, I bid one one of these a ways back, it went for right around two grand. Should be interesting to see where this one goes.
No big deal, john_kidder, I imagine the binding repair is not going to be cheap. I might have the whole side of the neck binding replaced and tint finished. I'm pretty sure this one will be a keeper. I wouldn't expect anyone to not bid because I was bidding, and I'm thinking the only reason I would not bid is if someone else wanted a guitar for their own personal use and I was looking to buy then sell. Is there a general rule or understanding in place for LTG e-bay bidders?

Pike - don't you think you might be able to find someone to simply add a coloured lacquer to the already repaired binding so it matches the amber of the older material? Seems to be a pretty common practice among binding folks.
And, no, there's no "understanding" among us, but sometimes if a person shouts out that they're going to be bidding on a particularly interesting instrument, others will lay off. Sometimes we compete, of course, but every now and then we all get behind someone and cheer her/him on.
