It's like trying to decide which one of your kids to give up.  |
then i would make the decision about laminate wood vs solid wood. the D25s didnt stay all solid for long, i think by 73 or 74, they moved to a laminate back. however, many on the guild forum swear by the laminate backed D25s, as they are louder than the flat backs. you would make a good 300-400 more if you sell the D40, but i would give up a laminate over a solid wood most days. still, if you really love your D25, no one could possible fault you for giving up the D40. just by the fact of the post, i can tell you really dig the D25. tough call
The good news is that D40s are really easy to find on ebay, etc.
D25 is still Guild's most sold acoustic dreadnought.
