: there is a Guild D25 from the mid 1970s up on ebay.com going for $350 bucks, are they worth it?

This is a truly "one-of-a-kind" instrument. I've got a 1980 model and I would NEVER part with it. It plays great, sounds fantatsic. Harmonics and overtones are always there at soft, medium, or hard playing. It's always in tune. It has an arched back, like a violin, with no braces. Mine is now 23 years old and the neck angle is perfect still. I've have yet to play an instrument that pleased me to play and hear as much as this one.

This was a mid to low end instrument for Guild. No frills like pearl inlays in the headstock, bound fingerboard, etc. but it is a very solid, quality instrument.

In 1980, this guitar retailed for about $500.00 U.S. Aged and treated decently, it is still worth well over the $350.00 being asked.

I have played Martins, Gibsons, etc. but have never been as pleased with their feel or sound.
