A rather unusual piece, the D-46 was manufactured briefly by Guild in the early eighties. This dreadnaught dates back to 1981 and has a solid spruce top with ash back and sides. The book matched back is showcasing the signature grain of ash. The addition of an unbound ebony fingerboard and bridge, multiple bindings, and a mahogany center strip on the back of the neck, give this model the dressing normally associated with Guild's top of line dreadnaughts. Also notable are the tuning machines labeled "Guild", which you do not see anymore. The ebony contrasts nicely with the blond ash body and pumpkin colored spruce top. Overall, an understated, yet elegant package. The bridge pins were upgraded to ebony which contributes to the understated elegance of the instrument. This instrument is as powerful as it is well balanced. It features scalloped bracing and dovetail neck joint. A splendid instrument. Time has been kind to this instrument and it has faired very well.
Reasonably priced at $850 plus shipping. Comes with upgraded Geib case!
Pics available upon request (I still cannot figure out how to put these things up there).
