Guild / D50 / 2002 / Natural / Guitar
|
This US made guitar is probably Guild's best known dreadnought model, the classic Sruce / Rosewood combination, making it one of the most popular flatpicking / bluegrass acoustics around. This example has a fair amount of playwear, and has benefited from this with a more mature tone than you'd expect from an 11 year old guitar. It sounds resonant and punchy, with a full tone and great clarity and definition - very responsive, with a very comfortable playing action. It's a great looking guitar, the top has turned a lovely honey colour and the Rosewood back and sides are beautifully figured. There is some great looking lacquer checking and two professionally repaired top cracks that are structurally sound, one very small by the soundhole below the treble side of the neck, and another on the treble side lower bout. It comes in it's original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
