Just realized, it's gotta be Grot:

The scary part about this is that I lost/forgot my password to my website so I haven't been able to update it in a few years. I just looked at the latest version of my "Guild List" and it appears I'm a few short! Man it must be pretty bad when you lose track of a guitar or four!

Anyhow, here's my latest list which I think is about four short!

Wow.............Guild hoarding at it's finest!

See all the tags hanging from the cases?

Everything is cataloged and organized. That's the sign of a collector, not a hoarder!

(Yeah, yeah, I know, it's a thin line, but a line non-the-less.)

Hidden in a nondescript building somewhere on the east coast is: "The Vault".

Hopefully I'll be able to sell them all and recoup my investment, (and then some :friendly_wink:) before you see them on Storage Wars!

Grot? Grot? Grot?, That's real funny dude, but also evokes some mighty crazy images.:biggrin-new::nightmare:

Yes. Appears to be a 1973 serial number, and d25s were all hog and arch back from 1973-1975
Well, "roughly", unless you have info from Hans I don't recall or haven't seen yet.
They actually started archbacks in '72 "IIR" his revised history correctly (he corrected the '74 date he shows in "the book") and both spruce and hog-tops were available for a time on the archbacks, but for sure the majority of all-hog archbacks reported here are from '73. '74 not as common, I can't recall any '75's, but member Spiderman has a very late all-hog '76.
But hey, D25's may be the single most confusing model in the line when it comes to variations of construction and nomenclature. :friendly_wink:
