Kudos on such a score !
-most of the pawnshops I've seen lately might have a plastic ukulele or broken plywood guitar !

Congrats!
Funny but the best guitar scores I have made in pawn shops were all Westerly Guilds. I have grabbed three. All were in fine playing condition including a fairly hard to find transitional D-25 with the spruce top and arched back. They ranged in price from $100 to $225.

Locky-
They were asking 750 + tax for it. I have zero knowledge on vintage USA made Guilds and after hearing him describe everything with his Father I didn't feel comfortable negotiating so I just paid it and said thank you. |

I wouldn't hesitate to pay that for a D-50.

I'd say that one rates even higher. Another beautiful guitar in your outstanding collection.

The problem in every shop I've been in within a 100 mile radius is that half the guys working there play guitar, and if ANYthing worth having comes in, it NEVER gets past the employees... |

Wow!
Excellent score! I have almost the same guitar, a 1977 D-55 NT bought new. The only difference is extra stupid bling. Our guitars may share wood from the same trees. They are glorious guitars! Enjoy that baby! |

That is a very good price for a vintage and minty D-50. You done good!
