"Westerly Collection" is CMG's name for the revised GAD line of MIC Guilds.
This one's definitely a US-built, I can see the TRC on the headstock on my big screen.
Sides actually remind me a whole lot of my Corona-built D40, not too darkly stained, and "paddle" style headstock.
I'm sayin' Corona or later D40.
Maybe D50, but sides look like 'hog.
PS looks like sealed tuners so can't be later than Tacoma.
And assuming it's gotta be one o those because it's just too damn shiny.
Any earlier and it'd have to be pre-'93 (late Westerly D40's got snakehead headstocks)
Not my favorite song, but the guitarist is backing her up really nicely with a great groove...

The guitar player is Curt Chambers ( http://www.curtchambers.com/ ), who is an official Guild artist.
He plays a new Oxnard made D-40 Traditional. https://guildguitars.com/g/d-40-traditional-in-natural/

You might be right, he might not be a "Guild artist" but works for Guild on contract base somehow. The latest videos show him introducing Guild guitars and he also played at NAMM 2020 on the CMG stage.... didn't see anything about being an "official Guild Artist".
Hey main point is he's some kind of an endorsing artist and your detective work is always appreciated here!You might be right, he might not be a "Guild artist" but works for Guild on contract base somehow.
Funny, I'm not a huge Alicia Keys fan but that song really worked for me!! I love the vibe and she sounded good to me. That guitar was perfect for that groove!! :encouragement:
She's pretty big in business since more than 10 years, just listen to her voice on one of her first big hits back in 2009:That's the First I heard of her.
