As Ralph says the white one (I forget what they called that color)
"Honey Blonde", and the lighter "blue" one was actually "Seafoam Green"; the one up front is "Crimson Transparent", the one in back next to the "Sapphire Blue Transparent" is "Amber", rarely seen and possibly my favorite.
Finally remembered where the original source is for the info, pg 12 of this PDF thanks to GAD:

Also just noticed for the first time that these are actually
Acrylic Satin Lacquer!
All these years thought they were still NCL!
(And I've never seen a Brown Sunburst, wouldn't surprise me if they never actually made any)
I've never really been sure if the Woodgrains and the Transparents were identical and just given different names at different times, part of the issue is that I've never seen 'em next to each other on identical top woods which obviously affect their appearance, also, there's the problem of color-shifting in the digital medium as the source image file gets displayed.
Seem to recall Ralph is certain or at least pretty sure that the Woodgrain Red and Blue are the same as the Transparent Red and Blue, and seem to recall he actually saw identical color code for at least one finish that was called different names at different times.
is a classy bit of guitar history and the Cherry one is one of the transparent or "wood grain" colors that colored the wood but allowed the mahogany to show through!! The dramatic color and the contrasting binding is absolutely stunning!! Thanks for sharing those, B!! Wow!! :encouragement::applouse:
Actually they were all transparent or translucent, even the Seafoam although it probably had the most solids making it the least translucent.
They also did one of the cream colored ones in Westerly, too, if I'm not mistaken.
Not that I can recall ever seeing on a D25;
Which I may be. Our very own Darryl Hattenhauer had one in that color or similar, but from Westerly, R.I. Al, can you verify or tell me how wrong I am??
Darryl's was Yellow (
https://letstalkguild.com/ltg/showthread.php?174387-yellow-D25-and-orange-D30-Rare/page2 ) and the photobucket link is dead, but it's the only yellow one I ever heard of, it stuck for that reason ever since I first saw that post.
This is also the only metallic blue we've ever seen on one, although at the time ('82) it was simply labeled "Blue":
Seen 2 of those (different s/n's), both '82's (first one's dated wrong according to s/n charts):

And while looking at those look what I stumbled across,
https://reverb.com/item/15951840-guild-d-55ce-1981-dark-blue-burst
Don't think I've ever seen an actual Blue Burst before (not like that anyway), or a D55ce(!) either!
And to find both on the same guitar?
As ad says I'm sure it must have been a special order, too:
Here's the D4 "Blueburst" we've seen before:
That one don't move me nearly as much as the D55....
