can't find any info on DY74
DY70 and DY71 are bluebooked at 500-575 in excellent condition and 350-400 in average condition. Hope that helps. |

| There are a couple listed here, http://www.austinvintageguitars.com/My_Homepage_Files/Page35.html at $795 each so cottonwolf's ballpark for a private sale sounds about right, probably at the top end. |

DY 74 WELLINGTON
- dreadnought style, solid spruce top, round soundhole, 5-stripe bound body and rosette, tortoise pickguard, rosewood back/sides, mahogany neck, 14/20-fret ebony fingerboard with varying pearl inlay, ebony bridge with white pearl dot pins, rosewood veneer on peghead, 3-per-side chrome tuners, available in Natural gloss finish, mfg. circa 1975-1998.
Excellent Average
$525 - 600 $350 - 425
The above info is from the Acoustic Bluebook, however if yours is a 1976 model, it may be worth a little more since the veneer on the headstock was Jacaranda instead of Rosewood.
