Hello LTG! New Member - DV52-NT HG

[whoahhh]

Hello everyone!

Just joined the forum and fairly new to Guilds! Thought I would say a friendly "hello" and share with you all the Guild that I have here. It's a DV52-NT HG and I don't think I have to explain much about it, most of you already know everything about the Guild family. It's my first Guild and I love it! These are real solid guitars and the sound out of this DV52 (to my ears at least) is outstanding!!! This one is a Westerly 1996 model so I imagine that means something around here too.

Curious to get some opinions on the model as they seem scarce and even compare them to the rest of the Guild family.

It's a terrible weekend up here in Canada so I thought the timing was right to speak out. And I know the thread is useless without photos so here you go:

Welcome. That sure is a pretty guitar you have there!

You'll like hanging out here. We're really just a bunch of enablers for you to buy more Guilds! :lol:

Welcome who, where abouts in Canuckistan are you from anyway?

The DV-52 has a very loyal following here, and rightly so. Outstanding guitar, tremendous sound, very well built.

 

[whoahhh]

Hey thanks everyone.

@Graham

I'm near Toronto. Where are you from? Giving the slang and the beaver, someone in the great wide north!

 

[FNG]

Nice! Loads of DV-52 love here...do a search...that will keep ya busy for awhile!

 

[cjd-player]

Welcome woahhh.

Put your feet up and stay awhile.

I'm at Graham's place right now.
You're right ...crappy weather all day.

That's why you're not here at your place huh? :shock:

 

[guildzilla]

Another guitar buddy for Graham!

Whoaaa, you won't find nicer people than Graham and Cid, his even better half.

Enjoy the DV-52.

WELCOME Whoa.........Great shots there, and well done! Photos on an early post! ( I still havent worked that out yet!) Another DV-52 around the place is always welcome....and you sum her up well. Great guitars. I sure am smitten with mine...........Got up before sunrise this am, and "quietly' played her downstairs..behind closed doors, and caught myself thinkig..' HOW SWEET IS THIS GUITAR!!!" ..always a fine start to the day.
Again, welcome. Southern :wink:

Welcome to LTG! A DV-52 is a nice Guild to start a collection... or a nice place to complete one. Doubt it will be both, unless there's a bunch in between... D

 

[dreadnut]

Welcome Whoahhh! You have one of the best kept secrets in the world of Guild, the DV-52. Thanks for the photos, any stories to go along with? We don't ask for much...

 

[whoahhh]

@dreadnut

Nothing special. Just bought it off a guy who couldn't adjust to the neck. Tried it out and decided to buy it. Lately I have thrown on some erie ball strings and it sounds FANTASTIC!!!

I wanted to ask, if I ever need to have work done to it where is a good place to take it? I'm in the Greater Toronto Area. Any well known guys?

The Twelfth Fret is supposed to be very good. I haven't had any work done there but....

So true. 8)

I have a D-25-12 on the way. Don't want to report back to the group until it's a keeper.

Welcome Yngwie! (Or did the avatar pic get me confused with somebody else??? :shock: )
So welcome whoahhh, from another DV52 partial.... That guitar is all what's been said above, plus what you're about to discover as you play it!
Enjoy the DV and the forum!!!
