I'm not super proud of this, but I have the guitar sweats again. I'm considering a 1970 D-35, and a new F-55 maple. I can buy the D-35 for a good price, but it will need a neck reset, and maybe more. I already have an Oxnard F-40T, so how much difference in sound will there be with the F-55? The F-55 has the arched back and maple, but is it enough of an upgrade to justify the cost? Even with 10-15% off, the F-55 is more than 3x the cost of the D-35, I think the D-35 will be a cool project, and I'll have a cool vintage Guild which is maybe what is missing in my guitars,
I guess the D-35 might be the more sensible choice. I would probably be $1500 into the D-35 after the neck reset, and could do the frets, nut, and saddle myself.
Anyway, if you have any thoughts, I would love to hear. Free free to stage an intervention. Thanks!
