This model was designed by George Gruhn, and imho the best flat top Guild ever made, and right up there with a D 28, though not as boomy. I think they made a mistake in calling the rosewood "Brazilian," but in this case it might not matter.

The auction ends on Jan 1.
If anyone wants to buy me a Christmas present I don't mind waiting until the New Year...

Judging by the color and grain, I would say that is for sure Brazilian Rosewood. Indian Rosewood runs more to a brownish tinge than red.

They're also selling a collectible 8-track tape player, in it's original carry case. -

I sure wish I knew what to buy now, to sell in thirty years....  |

Graham,
It certainly could be Braz. Some Braz is straight grained. And typical Indian does indeed look darker. |

Gary,
Yes, I just wouldn't feel right if I couldn't put strings on it made of spun diamonds. |

I agree, I saw this guitar advertised for sale previously for $75,000. Eventually, someone will buy it.  |

Donny,
Do you recall where it was for sale at 75K? I don't know squat about stars' guitars, but it seems like they sell them at places like Sotheby's. I think a Hendrix guitar got 100K or 200K or something like that. And Clapton auctioned off a lot of guitars to finance his rehab clinic (and probably bar tabs all over the world) but I don't know where they were advertised.
Maybe this is a new trend amongst baby boomers. |
