I bought a Guild D25 M in 1977. The first (and only) time I didn't put it back in it's case my house caught fire.... all I found were the tuning keys. The case was charred on the outside,but the interior was perfect. Picks and sheet music were fine. ALWAYS put your guitar back in the case. I now own a Guild D17 M.
@gaoy4 I don't really. Its probably worth over 1000 but the price varies on these guitars. I do know that as time goes on the are becoming more sought after. You'll have to do some research to find a fair price, and sometimes it just depends on the buyer.
Do you really like this guitar? How much did you pay for it? I really love it's mellow tone that it produces. I found a 1981 that I may buy that's why i'm asking.
@Gio60250 I do like this Guitar very much. The body on this particular guitar is huge for a dreadnought becuase the back is arched and the neck is thick, I mean thick. It plays very well though and the sound is fairly even, the bass is'nt has big as I would like however. As for the body size I personally have become more partial to an OM. I don't have one yet but I'm saving up. Overall, its a great guitar that will definatley hold its own.
A Guild can be a bigger pain to reset than a Martin-style due to the way the factory finishes them, as well as the width of the heel, and the fact that they seem to just be a bigger pain to get apart, IMO. That all adds up to a bigger bill.
I have a JF-30-12 that needs a reset, and I'm dreading it.

How much did the neck reset cost, if you don't mind me asking? Also, was it a dovetail joint on the neck or a bolt on or something different?
