I noticed that a local shop has a mid-70s Guild D40 for sale and am wondering whether it is time to upgrade from my early 70s Guild D35. Has anyone compared these two models?

Hi Chris,

Although the change from D-35 to D-40 would be an upgrade as far as the trimmings are concerned, it would not automatically be a better guitar. These two models are very sililar as far as the woods are concerned. You've probably been playing your D-35 for some time and probably know it inside out . If I were you I would definitely invest a little playing time in the 'new' D-40 first and not automatically switch to the next one up in the price list. It might be a better guitar but don't count on it.

Good luck!

P.S. Hope you don't mind me answering on this forum as well!
