Wow! Thank you for the awesome response. I could not find the CT on any search. 02 Guild with electronics and it sounds great. No marks at all. Hardly used I feel.
Welcome aboard! We love pics around here.
Coronas got a bit of a bad rap for a couple of reasons, but apparently besides playing time they just needed a little more aging than the 90's era Westerlys to really open up. I have an '04 Corona D40 and it needed about 12 years before it
really blossomed, even after I put a couple of hundred hours on it in the first 7.
Bought it new 'cause I thought it might be my last chance to get a real US-built Guild. Expected it to be louder than my '96 D25 but was surprised it wasn't. Literally called it the sonic runt of the litter (have an '01 F65ce also) for about 5 or 6 years.
Anyway, give it a lot of playing time, that's what it takes. And every one of those I've seen has a great top, magnificent silking. It's gonna age very well, just like my D40.
