1976 Guild D-40 Restoration (362)

Price: $1100

Free Shipping]

Original hard shell case is included.

Back was removed, cracks repaired, back replaced.

Reset was done.

Action is 4/64 at the 12th fret. Low-E is a bit higher.

This is now a superb sounding D-40 dreadnought. The original bracing is intact but is now much improved. The D-40 is usually built like a tank. Not properly lightening the braces was probably a cost cutting measure. Regardless, there is no need to have such heavy bracing throughout. I re-shaped (i.e. tapered) the lower bout bracing to improve high pitch tones. Wow, what a difference. This is what Guild should have done 45 years ago.

This guitar has a two year structural warranty covering any changes to crack repairs or play action (string height). I will pay return shipping to my shop and back to the owner.

I am all about customer satisfaction. This is a guitar you will keep and play for years. The tone quality is absolutely inspiring. You are buying this guitar for tone quality, not for looks.

Satisfaction guaranteed or full refund except for return shipping if dissatisfied with sound quality.
