GUILD SIGHTING.......GUILD D50CE

[frettedstrings]

LTG,

Another Guild Sighting This Evening.......

I went to play a few songs at a local coffee house this evening and as I walked in the door there was an open guitar case and a Guild Acoustic inside. The owner came over directly and I said, "I like your Guild". Rosewood back and sides, spruce top. Cut away body with electronics/5 band EQ. He said it was a D50CE and he thought it was a 2004. He said he paid $1800 for the guitar, a few years ago. I wish I had pics to show. I gave him the web address for LTG. I encouraged him to join LTG and told him that we'd all like to see pics of his Guild.

P.S> There are usually plenty of Gibsons and Martins but I am proud to say that several GUILDs are beginning to show up at the two coffee houses that I play at. My '75 D35 and My '67 F212 and a friend's '74 D25M and now a 2004 (?) D50CE !!!!

I don't have the dates etched on my brain, yet, so I'm wondering, where would this 2004 D50CE have been made?
I should try to find/create a chart showing the different factories and their respective dates of operation. Does anyone know if one exists?

That would be in Corona Joe!

Thanks for that info, Hans.
As to a chart that shows locations/years of operation, do you know if one exists or should someone consider creating one?
Seems like it might be a useful tool to have on hand.

Cheers,
Joe

I told the man that owns the D50CE that if it was indeed a 2004 it was probably made at the Corona, CA plant. He didn't seem to be that interested in the year it was made and even had to look at the tag inside to remember what model of Guild he had, "Oh, it's a D50CE".

It looked just like the guitar in the Westerly Link, below, except the D50CE that I saw had a black pickguard.....which really caught my eye. :shock: :lol:
