My 1997 (I think) D25

[KingFaisalHenry]

Hi all,

Another newbie here. Pictured is the greatest guitar I have ever owned. I bought this used around 15 years ago from the States for something in the region of $350 - $400, with OHSC. As it is "made to be played", it has been. A lot. It is still the first thing I would get from the house if it was on fire, then go back for the wife and son. I have a number of other guitars, but none come close to this. I don't know if I got a "good one", or if they are all this good! I need another to compare it to

Now that is a class act, right there! Great example of a well loved and played D25.

Great photos of a beautiful guitar. It sounds like you got a good deal, too. I paid about the same for my 1983 D25, new.

Welcome to LTG! Yea, that’s a model that deservedly gets lots of love around here, and yours certainly did by the looks of it. I just put .13s on mine over the weekend and have been playing it since, great tones with mediums

Stick around, we’ll help you get that comparison model

Your '80 was built for 'em, a '97 was built for lights. My '96 gets choked off on mediums and really opens up with
Silk and Bronze strings.

Hi all,

I need another to compare it to

Stick around, we’ll help you get that comparison model

Or a sound clip with the afore-mentioned Silk'n'bronze strings:

Nothing beats honest play wear. I think a lot of D 25 owners think they got a good one.

Nothing beats honest play wear.

And a big "amen" to that!
