Guild 1973 D-25 Mahogany Acoustic Guitar w/ Hard Case, Very Good

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Guild 1973 D-25 in mahogany is in very good condition.  At first glance, it is a near mint looking guitar, but there is a top crack repair that disallows such a condition grading.

It has a mahogany top, back, sides, and neck, with a rosewood fretboard and dot inlays. The top and back are bound, and the finish is original and in very good condition. The neck is a slim-to-medium C, and the tuners are the original open gear, 3 on a side. It weighs 4 lbs 12.5 oz.

The top has a dent and crack that was repaired some time ago. Check out our through pics for details. The bridge and bridge plate are original. The saddle is faux bone.  The saddle is tall and the action is perfect.

It comes with a generic hard case in very good condition. 

Alfred Dronge founded Guild in 1952, starting with a small workshop in Manhattan that focused on archtop jazz guitars. Later the company built a dreadnought series, the D-40, D-50, and D-55, to compete with Martin's D-18 and D-28. Richie Havens played a Guild D-40 when he opened Woodstock in 1969. The D-25 arrived in 1968 as Guild's least expensive dreadnought, with a mahogany top instead of the usual spruce.
