As a young man (1966), I bought a Guild 1965 D-44 (first year) from Roger Johnson at the Columbus Folk Music Center. It was a terrific guitar but Martin fever got the best of me and I sold it and purchased a used 1963 D-28.
Fast forward to 2016, I bought a clean and very similar '65 D-44. It's clean in all the right ways, warm in the cool ways, needs a reset but sounds terrific, much like a '30s J-35 I once owned.
Question: in 1965, what glue did Guild use? Hide glue or white glue? Guilds of that era often had a few glue spots inside and thought they were white but this guitar appears to have hide glue holding the kerfing inside. I need to send this guitar off and get it reset ASAP.
Thank you for any info.
