I just picked this up today from another LTG member named Roger. He was kind enough to meet me halfway between the Detroit Metro area and the hinterlands of NE Michigan. This is an absolutely superb D 40T, it truly is and is in minty condition. I hope I can do it proud.
I'm attaching a few pics but the lighting is poor and they likely aren't all that great. BUT, this has a huge voice and may be one of the top 2 D 40's I've ever played. It is truly superb.
Now, I need to vent. I've listened for years to the ignorant posts by the uneducated (IMHO) about how Fender destroyed Guild quality and sound when they bought the company. BULL=SH--!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some of the best Guild I've ever owned came from NH or Corona or the Nashville Custom Shop. I gave up trying to educate these people. They are hopeless. It's like they hear something said by somebody else and then parrott that again and again. Don't get me wrong, I love my Westerly's Hoboken's etc.. but I equally love what I mention above.
Fast forward to Oxnard builds. I have 3 of them right now and all are superb and I mean trly, superb. I have the F 55 GSR in Oxblood, the D 40 T Deluxe with the upgraded board inlays (Sweetwater called it a GSR but it's not. I will say, however, it has more special appointments than many of the Guilds Cordoba called GSR lately) and now this D 40 T which is exceptional.
End of rant.
