Thanks Bax, I picked up a 1978 Guild D-35NT today after playing it for about an hour and you're right about it not being too different from the D-25 volume-wise. Really great guitar and just an absolute steal at $350 with the original hardshell case from the 70s (and the owner's manual from the 70s too!). I had my brother bring his old Guild D-25M over and the D-25 is definitely boomier/bass heavier than my D-35. And thanks Yairimann, it's the laminate back version since it has the arch, and I think it's that arch that gives it its boomier response. They have slightly different tones, with the D-35 being what I would describe as a bit more woody and organic. Both equal in the tone department as far as quality goes as far as I'm concerned.

These old Guilds truly are the best bang for your buck in my opinion, My brother also got his for $375 with hardshell case a few years back. Amazing guitars
