I've decided I have too many non-Martin guitars and want to get a Martin Adi topped HD-28V.

2006 excellent condition original owner BR-260. $1500. Solid Sitka spruce over solid Brazilian rosewood. This guitar was never on the showroom floor. I personally selected it from several at Saga in person. Sounds and looks great! Includes the Guardian Vintage Deluxe case or a Tweed Musicians Friend archtop hardshell case [I think this might also be a Guardian case] (your choice).

Prefer local sale in SF Bay area, but will ship. You pay shipping your choice. You know what these guitars are, and you know my tastes in playing by now. I will answer questions and send details/pics that you require, but I do not want to be shipping guitars back and forth. They are subject to local sale on Craigslist.

If I know you from the Forum or if references satisfactory (i.e. from someone else I know well from here or the Blueridge or Martin Forum) I'll take cashiers check, money order. Otherwise, I think I can arrange for PayPal if you pay the extra cost.

Also 2006 Guild D-50 Bluegrass Special. $1400
Solid Adirondack top over solid East Indian rosewood. Original owner. K&K pickup, Grover Sta-Tite Vintage 18:1 tuners, Guild/TKL top notch hardshell case. Excellent condition. Sounds great.

I will trade BOTH guitars for the right HD-28V with Adirondack top. The guitar must have a 1 11/16" neck and the Adi must not have grain the width of a building 2x4. Obviously, must be in good condition with no issues and include quality case.

That's an OK deal isn't it, 2 Martins for a Guild ?

Thanks Gard.

KY, it depends on the years and condition of the instruments, and whether or not the Guild is Brazilian rosewood.

Re: WTT: Guild D-50 BS for Martin D-18 or D-18V

The D-50 Bluegrass Special is a 2006 in very good condition, with the addition of a K&K pickup and Grover Sta-tite Vintage tuners. I'm the original owner.

The list on it is more than a D-18 and less than a D-18V.

If it was Brazilian, I definitely would not be trading it on a modern 18 series Martin. :wink:

Thanks for asking!

Dave

p.s. You all are Guild folks... What does a Guild like this sell for used?

$1,300-$1,450 according to the 2009 Vintage Guitar Price Guide. Ebay maybe 15% -20% less.

Re: WTT: Guild D-50 BS for Martin D-18 or D-18V

Interesting pricing. I'm used to Martins, which usually have a rule of thumb pricing of 50% of list price for a contemporary model in excellent condition. So the Guilds can also get half price used? Thanks for the info.

I guess with the pickup added I can still reasonably ask a bit more.

Re: Sale/trade: Guild D-50 BS and Blueridge BR-260 - want D18adi

The list prices are:
Guild D-50 Bluegrass Special - list $2899 (+ Grover Sta-Tites $45/K&K Pickup $90 and install)
Blueridge BR-260 - list $2995 (+ case $99. List was recently lowered and no stores I've found have lowered their prices below what they were when the list was $3495)

For those of you who have raved about the Tacoma Adi topped Guilds, this Bluegrass Special is a really good sounding one!
