Following @dreadnut 's lead. I thought I would post in praise of my humble D-35. Picked it up in San Diego via Craigslist about 6 months ago. It was a closet queen that needed new tuners and a new nut and saddle but had barely been played in 50 years. The gentle San Diego climate preserved it well. Now it has opened up nicely and is a wonderful sounding guitar with a neck that is an absolute pleasure to play. It has a Hoboken label, a Hoboken style truss rod cover, and the location of the Guild stamp in the sound hole and the sticker placement are both typical of 1960s Hoboken acoustic guitars but the date stamp is February 12, 1971 - I believe all Guild production was at Westerly by then - or was it? Correct me if I'm wrong. Pics attached.
