I had been going back and forth with a very nice guy down in austin about his guild guitar - I'd send him a message, it would take him 2, 3, 5 days to respond... ill save yall the drawn out emotional rollercoaster...
I bought his guitar tonight - 2012 Guild D-50CE STD - $790 shipped.
I look across the internet and it seems like I stole this guitar. The only major problem is it has a Dtar pickup system and he says something is wrong with that. I plug in once every about 9 months so this isnt a problem.
I typed the serial # into the guild serial # database machine and it came out that it was made october 2012 in New Hartford, CT.
Am I missing something ? Did I get a normal deal and I just feel like I just stole something and my arrest is imminent ?
Also, There is conflicting reports that for that year, they did away with the adirondack bracing.. I cant find anything concise. Guild site says it is 'red spruce' but others say it is not.. and it does not have an ebony fretboard but a rosewood one - so much conflicting info.
Can anybody on the board chime in with any additional knowledge or if you have one, let me know what you think?
Thanks!
