My '71's original Grover Rotos were pitted and barely gold anymore... Fortunately modern Grovers are just like the old ones!

I think it was worth giving the old girl some new jewelry:
You mean the new ones are "pitted and barely gold anymore", also?! :eek:
:lol:

Hello, all. It's nice to have so much help from so many knowledgeable folks.

As promised, the D-30 is pictured below:

Why can't everyone just stamp the date on there? Still a bit of cleaning to do.
I've altered the serial number in this image, but it's consistent with date indicated.

And some maple goodness, to finish it out.

It plays great, and sounds like a Guild.

Great looking guitar. I am inspired to get some pictures up this weekend. FYI - original Gold Grovers on my Guild.

Thank you, Tunes.

I'm sticking with the chrome, for now. I spent a bit more than I had expected to on some new frets, etc.

So I think I'm just going to play and enjoy it as is. Which ain't bad :D .

Get those pics up. LTGers love 'em.

Chrome over gold for me. While we're on a tuner conversation. Have Guild always had an affiliation with Grover? I had thought about fitting some Gotoh 510's to my DV6 but the Grovers on there work fine and if I'm honest just look 'right' on a Guild headstock.
