Location: Phoenix AZ		FOR SALE: GUILD D-55

This is my personal D-55 in beautiful antique sunburst. New Hartford built and it's in 100% perfect mint as-new condition. I am the second owner and the guitar has zero evidence of ever being played. Hardshell case in in similar as-new condition. I'm a little bit up to my ears in Dreads right now with too many guitars and too little time to enjoy them, so I'm willing to cu this one loose to a lucky new owner. Any questions please PM or email me ... dave @ takamineforum dot com.

This really is beauty of a guitar. Not to downplay Ovation, but if you want to venture into the wood box game GUILD is making some fantastic stuff !!!

Location: New Hartford CT		That's pretty much what I'd heard as well moody. From there forward it became part of the lineup. This one is a New Hartford built guitar. That's key for me.
