After banging on my D-25 (1981) Guild for 25 years, I am in the mood for a new guitar. I have been looking for about a year and the Gibson J-45 TV is currently sitting in the sweet spot. BUT, I have heard several of these D-40 Tacoma built Guilds and I love their sound. I have always really liked Ritchie Haven's Guild but have not played one yet.
For those of you who have played a Tacoma built D40-BJ Guild and a D40 Ritchie Havens model, what are your impressions? I understand that the BJ has the red spruce top and the Ritchie Havens has a sitka top. Are there any other differences between these two guitars?
