Hi guys. My first acoustic was a 72 D-35. Of course I sold it when I needed some cash around 1980. I have a couple Martins: an HD-28 and a MMV dreadnought (basically a D-16 RGT). The HD-28 has loads of chime and overtones while the MMV has a simpler, purer tone pallet. Both are rosewood. Anyway, I've been thinking about getting a mahogany Guild for awhile and for our anniversary my wife gave me a "Get yourself a Guild" card. So what's better, a 50 year old D-35/40 or a new D-40 Standard/Traditional?
There's also a 72 D-44M available. I remember drooling over one back around 75, but I had a SJ-200 for awhile and just didn't like how bright it was.
Got some suggestions?
