Acoustic Pickers: 1981 Guild D-25M

http://acousticpickers.blogspot.com/2012/05/1981-guild-d-25m.html

The pursuit of vintage and other lonely acoustic guitars. Monday, May 28, 2012. Spent a glorious Memorial Day weekend in New Hampshire's lakes region strumming and picking on my latest Craigslist find, a 1981 Guild D-25M. This is a classic Dreadnought-sized guitar added to the Guild line in 1968. It is the most popular Guild model ever built. Originally an all-solid Mahogany guitar, the D-25 was switched to a Spruce top and a laminated Mahogany arched back in 1976. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
