Offered for sale:

Vintage 1980 Guild D-50 NT serial number DD100803.

This guitar is in good condition, neck angle is good, frets have height. Cosmetically there is finish wear and a few noticeable marks on the back and sides, top has been refinished in satin and has a crack below the bridge that has been professionally repaired and is stable. There is a small very common split from the sound hole to the treble side of the fretboard, also professionally repaired and is stable.

This D050 is noticeably more resonant that most Guilds we come across.

This guitar was donated to Hungry For Music, an organization that gets instruments into the hands of underprivileged kids. When they get pro guitars, we sell them and buy student guitars for Hungry For Music to distribute to kids around the country and the world.

The D-50 is one of Guild’s most popular dreadnoughts, known for its depth and power and sweetness of tone. The Guild D-50 is sometimes known as the Bluegrass Special. Introduced in 1963, it was produced for a couple of decades and experienced a variety of reissues over the years.

Originally constructed from Brazilian rosewood for its back and sides with a spruce top, but switched to Indian rosewood in the late '60s.

Original hard-shell case included.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
