D-60 specs

[evenkeel]

Our friend marcellis cannot log into LTG. He asked me via facebook for the specs of a D60, the Walker-Gruhn rosewood version like mine. Guild site does not have the info he's looking for, nor do I.

If anyone has the info or knows where to get it, I'll pass it along to marcellis.

Thanks

That's funny, I just sent him a PM about the blue F65ce posted here:

As for his D60, here's a little help from westerlyguildguitars at least:

Note if you click on "specs" under the photo it'll bring up more info.
Anything for one of the guys who inspired me to join!
Please pass on my greetings, thanks!

Thanks adorksi. I'll pass the link along. FWIW the link is for the spruce/maple version, not the rosewood version. The Walker d60 is listed but the spec sheet is blank. But should give marcellis some of the info he's looking for.

Not the rosewood version, but this might help:

Thanks Walrus, interesting but inaccurate description of the DV72 as I read down on those descriptions. All I was able to find was information regarding the maple D60.

Here are (to the best of my abilities) the specs for the Gruhn-Walker D60, which has absolutely no relation to the later Maple D60:


AAA spruce top
Scalled X bracing (with all top braces being scalloped)
Rosewood back and sides
Black headstock overlay with MOP Guild logo and G shield. Headstock is narrow, tapered style.
Ebony fretboard. I think Guild called the nut 1-7/8th, but my F44 is just slightly over 1-11/16th
Kluson style tuners
Diamond shaped inlays at 3rd/5th/7th/9th/12th/15th frets
Ebony Bridge

Thanks everybody. I'll pass the info along to marcellis. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
