Greg, this thread is for Westerly series (made overseas), not for Westerly, RI guitars.What year is this one ?
1981 or 1986?
Thanks!
Anyway, a quick read of Guild's serial number chart says: D-212 1986

It's from 1986, but it is not a 'Westerly Collection' model even though it was made in Westerly!What year is this one ?

The 'Westerly Collection serial number decoder' is for Westerly Collection guitars that are not made in the USA. Your D-212 is not part of the 'Westerly Collection', which was introduced long after your guitar was made.Confused here..

we all agree on 1986... question...
wasn't the D-212 renamed the D-25-12 in 1986, Hans?
@Greg Feo have a look here. Best wishes.@Greg Feo : The "Westerly Collection" models were only introduced in year 2015 and are all made in China. So you simply posted your serial number question in the wrong thread.
Here was Guild's press release:
Introducing: The Westerly Collection | Guild Guitars
Introducing: The Westerly Collectionguildguitars.com
And if you read post #1 of this thread here you might understand why this was the wrong thread for your question about a made in USA guitar.

Oh yeah. We know how much they care.Blame Guild for a confusing name for import guitars.
