Your long-awaited answer arrives on January 1, regarding the #1 DV73 NT HG with S/N AD730001. You'll be happy to hear it was born on November 1, 1994 and was delivered through the hands of Bob Turner at Bizarre Guitar in Phoenix to me on January 20, 1995. I was told my "Sedona" was a prototype that had been granted to Bob because of his reputation as the VIP Guild Dealer of the West, just down the road from Sedona, AZ. I was also told that on the day I gained ownership, the model was introduced at the NAMM show in Anaheim. Many stories, adventures and, of course songs, have come out of our beautiful 28-year relationship. You'll notice I own 1 Guild. Very happy and feeling blessed with what has come to be affectionately known as "My Baby."
This info should give you more to work with, and I'm most curious about the origins of that DV73 - AD720177 - September 29, 1994. Could that have been the "Prototype" Bob was referring to?
