1995 Guild D-4 Lefty Dreadnought Guitar



Overview: Guild D-4s were very popular when I was learning guitar and, in Eastern Connecticut, they were pretty-much all over the place. This one's a factory lefty and is lightly-used and in good order. I just needed to give it a glorified setup to get it playing nicely. These sound punchy and full and, when dug into, give the player plenty of juice to kick-out into the crowd with (thanks, arched back). They're satin-finished and bare-bones but that's what keeps the price down and these in the hands of everyday folks.


Repairs included: I gave it a setup -- and added string ramps behind the saddle for better back-angle on it. It's playing nicely.

Condition notes: It's actually rather clean for its age, though it does show a little uswear here and there (light scratches). The bridge is ever-so-slightly shaved on top and the saddle is low, though it's been stable in service here in the shop. I've thus added string ramps to keep the back angle good from the pins.


It comes with: It has its original hard case.
