I just took out my DV-62 to give it a spin. Boy, does the DV series really sound great. I've owned a DV-52, a DV-72 and now this DV-62, and all of them have been cannons. The quality of the woods tells the tale.

I like this old Westerly Guild website: http://westerlyguildguitars.com/guitars.html
And check out the Source for their DV72 page!

Can't remember where I got "AAAA" top. But since have discovered that the builders assign their own grading pretty much.

I have to agree. These are truly amazing guitars.

I got this one from Richard Petersen. It was worked over by Tom in Florida. What a nice piece, despite the few flaws on the top. Who cares! This cannon blows you away.

I have never owned one in this series and I look forward to doing so one day. I came close to Buying West R Lee's I believe 5 or 6 years ago.
Tom - The DV72 is Maple, correct? I would love to get one in Maple. I have been bonding heavily with the F47M that Grassdog sold me a few months ago. It is a classy little grand orchestra guit.

No, the DV72 is rosewood. No maple versions were made of this model so far as I know.
I'm very fond of the DV series guitars too -- I'm currently on my second DV72.
BTW Rich, I recently traded Richard for my old JV72 back. It had three owners after me (including you, I believe) but has come full circle and is not going anywhere. Playing it again, I can't figure out for the life of me why I sold it in the first place.
Thanks for being a good steward while you had it -- it sounds as great as it ever did!

D30Man, the DV-72 is a RW guitar with a sitka spruce top.

Wiley Pickett,
I enjoyed it while I had it, and can't remember why I sold it. Probably, because I lusted on another Guild at the time. My usual downfall. But this time, I'm not goin' to fall into the trap and sell my A 500 or the DV-62. They are simply the quintessence of Guildness.
I can hardly believe I gave my DV52 to my son. I really love that kid. He can really pick and sing!

No need to feel bad -- at least he's using it!
If it was under the bed gathering dust, then you'd be right to feel bad.

Falling in love with a DV-52 is on my list of things to do.

I've posted a couple things about my JV72 in just this past week, including in this thread -- see above.
