Default FS: Vintage 1978 Guild D-35 NT Acoustic

SOLD! Vintage 1978 Guild D-35 NT Acoustic Guitar

Selling a very special Guild D-35 NT, Serial Number 179304.
This guitar has a warm balanced tone with subtle overtones and plays fantastic!

I had this guitar setup by a local well known luthier and it has low action and feels great! I picked this guitar out of several vintage Guilds and it sounded and played better than the rest. Records great with subtle ringing overtones.

She has some dings and blemishes as you would expect from a vintage guitar that was well played by a traveling musician for many years, but she is structurally solid - played a lot but not abused.

I was told that she was played for many years by an older local musician who passed away and his daughter sold her to the guitar shop I purchased her from. If she could talk, this guitar would have some stories to tell I'm sure.

These older Guilds are way undervalued and this particular one plays and sounds very nice. Guilds are known for making very well made guitars that are warm and very well balanced. She's great for strumming and finger style as well.

If you're looking for a really nice vintage acoustic for a VERY affordable price, this could be it. Also include Hard shell case not shown.

SOLD

Thanks ukejon! These are great guitars and way undervalued. I think more people are realizing how great an alternative these are to the the much higher priced alternatives.

I had the Sunburst version of this guitar and loved it. It was borrowed so I reluctantly had to give it back after about 4 months - but these Westerly built, mid-70's Guilds are seriously underrated guitars and therefore a bargain for the tone you get. It doesn't sound like a Martin or a Gibson - it has its own distinctive bark. These are very cool guitars and the Guild motto says it all - "made to be played." You just don't want to put it down.

I am not really a dread player anymore (I happy with my 00 and OM) but someone who gravitates toward that big bold dread sound will surely dig this guitar. Best of luck with the sale.

I have a Guild D40 that I purchased new in '75. I played it so much it had to be regretted about 20 yrs ago. It still plays well all the way up the neck.

If one likes the Guild sound and you don't mind a players guitar how can you go wrong? A Vintage American made acoustic for <$700. Check the price of a new Guild D40…..OUCH !

I have no connection to the seller.

Very underated guitar. Great solid Guild sound, nice mojo and a great price. How can this guitar still be available? Good luck with your sale.
