I have a 1994 Guild D4 NT HU
I have seen the HR but not the HU what is the difference

Welcome! Stick around - nice folks around here.

Much love for the D-4. Post a photo of the label and you'll get the definitive answer.

Can’t find it online anywhere does anyone know what it is? The Guitar was made in 1994

 

[Lee173]

I have looked at a lot of labels and have not seen one with HU or one with HR where the R looks like a U

 

[GGJaguar]

Welcome to LTG! Looks like HR to me.

Does your guitar have a gloss finish? Most D-4's are satin finish ("HR") but there are examples with a high gloss finish. Those labels include "HG".

I am not sure the difference but I walk say it’s not a thick finish I posted a photo of the guitar overall

I would say it has a high action but I am leary about getting it worked on. Also I want to do country style songs and maybe some other if you couldn’t tell by now I am a beginner!

Here are some photos

Could be an R.

 

[Cougar]

Looks like a good one! No idea on the "HU."

I suppose... A really, really bad one.

 

[fronobulax]

I vote for HR. It makes sense and somehow after looking at the AD and the 21 I could argue that there is an R and what we are seeing is the unusual handwriting we sometimes see from Guild.

Hand Rubbed finish?

The story was it was a one owner and he bought it out in Southern California and worked his way up through Washington doing small gigs and street work with it buying his way north from there he worked his way through to Wyoming and down to New Mexico where went to Florida from there. (Bought from said owner)

It's a sloppy "HR" for "Hand-rubbed" finish:

Note the text under the "D4" pic, and welcome aboard.

You may able to drop the action a little bit if there's room to sand the bottom of the saddle.

That's a good guitar for "country style songs" - my wife has a D-4 and it has the right tone for strumming cowboy chords with a pick.

Enjoy it.

I definitely like the sounds of it with a pick. It tends to be a sharper clearer tones. Also it is a nice one as it nearly never needs tuned agian. I am interested in a “better one” like a D40 but I have to do some research

It's HR.... just a careless Westerly Factory half script/half print thing. For sure. Welcome to LTG.
