Default 1981 Guild D25M Dreadnaught SOLD ELSEWHERE

Very nice example of this absolute belter of a dreadnought. Looks to me to be all original. Recently set up and stays and plays in tune. The top has various gouges and scuffs but overall pretty good. No cracks or structural damage that I can discern. I also believe that the case, though unbranded, is at least original to the guitar...key in the pocket.

Only condition issue worth mentioning is that the G tuner is very tight. It works in both directions but takes some effort. This is the second of these archbacks that I have had. I love the sound, look and value so much but just can't get comfortable with the nut width and string spacing and don't end up playing it. It's 1 11/16" nut and 2 1/8" at the bridge. I'm guessing I will again develop amnesia about why I keep buying and selling these...but for now, this one can be yours for NOW SOLD plus shipping. I'm in NYC suburbs of NJ and would love a local deal. Please feel free to let me know if I'm way off on pricing...I think it's a good deal for a vintage Westerly-made dread.

I have an '81 Guild. I believe this time frame to be the high-water mark for Guild. Very sturdy guitars, and with a tone all their own.

I'd grab this to go with my D-46, but I'm trying to downsize right now. I've played this same model before and totally loved it.

Good luck with it!
