Greetings all. Newbie to this forum but a longtime big big fan of Guild. Due in no small part to the latest FMIC boner my search for a New Hartford D-55 has taken many turns, one which has led me to a "new" 50th Anniversary Brazillian piece. As the story goes, a Guild dealer somewhere in the corn belt had ordered one, never sold it, and is willing to part with it for no more than I would pay for a standard sunburst piece. I don't know this dealer but this comes to me via an extremely trustworthy source (whom I do know). Just wondering if the experts here have had any good, bad, or indifferent experience with these things. Being a Westerly bigot I'm not sure If I should be concerned that these guitars were built in Corona or not. No intention to insult here or start another thread on which factory produced the best pieces but Guilds have been so scarce around me for so long I've never seen a Corona built - or even a Tacoma built guitar for that matter. That aside, any opinions or comments from folks who know Guilds would be warmly received and much appreciated. This upcoming purchase, whatever Guild it may be will bring me "full circle" with where I started playing on a '71 D-35.
Cheers all
