Thought I would display the 2022 D40 Traditional with my 1975 G212, which I understand is basically a D40-12...(If I am wrong on that, they still look good next to each other)...Dave
I don't remember if there was ever a D-40 12-string, 3C4S. There may actually have been such a model (with Guild you run into this kind of confusion all the time). But, yes, you're right. The G-212 is basically that. By way of comparison, the G-312 is the 12-string version of the D-50. Why? Well, someone thought that naming was a good idea at the time.
For the record, your modern, Oxnard-built D-40 Traditional, which is almost universally loved by our membership, has some significant build differences from the D-40 of the era that your G-212 was built. But, they definitely belong on a wall together, and I like it!!!
What is the picture on the wall of? Just curious.
