Guild 2009 D-50 BG Bluegrass Special w/ Fishman Pickup System, Hard Case, Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This Guild 2009 D-50 BG Bluegrass Special in natural is in excellent condition.  It plays really well, with low action and a high saddle.

It has an Adirondack spruce top with no cracks or repairs, Indian rosewood back and sides, an ebony fretboard, and a mahogany neck with a C profile. The finish is original and in excellent condition.  The guitar is light for a Guild - it weighs 5 lbs 6 oz. This lighter build contributes to the projection of the guitar. Scale length is 25.625" with a 1.6875" nut.  You'll see some finish checking lines here and there in the pics - they are not cracks.

A Fishman under-saddle pickup system was added, and the saddle is new Tusq made by our in-house tech. There is a professionally cleated repair for a crack on the back, visible in our pictures shot inside the guitar. The original hard case is in very good condition.

Guild started out in New York City in 1952, and the first-year D-50 in 1964 was built in Hoboken, New Jersey. The original D-50 was dubbed the Bluegrass Special, which gives you a good idea of what it was built for. Fender bought Guild in late 1995, and the factory kept moving, from Westerly, Rhode Island to Corona, California to Tacoma, Washington. During the Tacoma years the tops on the D-50 switched from Sitka to Adirondack spruce, which is what you get on this one. In 2009 Guild relocated again, this time to share factory space with Ovation and Hamer in New Hartford, Connecticut.
