1998 GUILD DV-52
Dreadnought acoustic, Blonde(Natural) nitrocellulose laquer finish over solid AAA Spruce top & solid Indian Rosewood back & sides. Was Guild's top of the line in the DV series with an abalone sound hole rosette, scalloped forward shifted bracing, ebony fretboard with pearl dots, ebony bridge, Mahogany neck, headstock with pearloid inlaid “Guild” logo and Guild “Chesterfield”, & gold Grover tuners.
Made in Guild's legendary Westerly Rhode Island factory in 1998. The least expensive new Guild USA dreadnought with scalloped bracing is the D-40 Traditional(and it's Mahogany not Rosewood) lists for $3,000, so these vintage Westerly, Rhode Island guitars are really bargains. Very nice condition with original deluxe Guild hardshell case.
