NGD- '96 DV52

[bronzeback]

Rolled the dice with an online GC purchase. Looks barely played. Perfect neck angle, stock nut, saddle, pins. One of the last out of Westerly. Sounds older then it is. Stock case, with the owners manual! Happy picker here.

Looks fantastic! That top grain is mighty silky. Nice score bronzeback.

I cleaned her up a little, polished the frets and board. Strung up fresh 13-56's. The gold tuners looked terrible but they polish right up. Really sounds great.

Wow, very silky! What a beauty! "Looks barely played" out of GC? What a score! Major congrats!

 

[GGJaguar]

You hit the jackpot with that one, congrats!!

Nice score, that is a lifetime Guild!

I gave my DV52 to my son for a college graduation present. He also used it for his senior pictures in high school.

Yeah
Nice

Super nice! Congrats! How does it compare to your D40 Traditional?

I can hear the age difference for sure. The DV has that old warm rosewood tone. Neither lack for bass. Great companions!

Well done, and congratulations on winning the GC lottery! I'm glad it worked out so well.

Very nice. That grain is superb. Man, there is profound affection on this forum for that model. I have come close to pulling the trigger on one a time or two. Congrats!

 

[D30Man]

Dread that is a hell of a gift! The burst on that one is gorgeous.
