***SOLD***Guild 12-string dread ***SOLD***

[MH3]

For sale is a Guild D4-12 NT 12-string dread.

This guitar was made in Guild's Westerly, RI facility in 1994, before Fender purchased Guild.  It has mahogany b&s and a beautiful bearclaw spruce top aged to a warm golden honey color.  This guitar has the distinctive Guild arched back, large tortoise pickguard, and dual truss rods.  The original hardshell case is included.

The tone of this guitar is majestic and LOUD.  It transforms simple single note runs and riffs like the one from Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" into something special.  The action is a tad high at the moment, but could be adjusted to suit - I just haven't been playing it enough to bother taking to the shop to get it done.

There are a few minor dings from 11 years of use, but nothing major.  The body finish is satin, buffed to a light gloss in a few places where my arm usually touches the body.  Here are some photos:

This is a great solid wood, American-made guitar that I'd really like to keep, but I just don't play it much as my taste has changed. 

When I posted this before, I had it priced at $575 + shipping, but I will take $525 + shipping from a forum member.  I will also consider a trade for an interesting non-dread 6-string.  PM through the forum or e-mail if interested.  I may go to eBay pretty soon.

Someone should snatch this guitar up!!!

I found one of these (same year too) living a
slow death in a pawn shop a few years ago.
Needless to say, it is now in a much better place.

These guitars sound great, and with a proper set-up
play extremely easy.  They are also pretty heavy.
Not a bad thing, just takes a little getting used to.

If someone was looking for a 12 to add to their stable
the D412 NT would be a great choice!!

That's right, and someone could get a bargain with no reserve.

Still available, didn't sell on eBay.

[MH3]

BUMP - maybe I should just trade it in??

MAN, that's a nice 12string.  I hate to see that you're having such trouble getting rid of it.  I can't think of anything i have to trade, but sure would like to have it.  Best of luck selling it.

You might also try the acoustic guitar forum.

Andy, thanks.  At this point I'd consider any offer (and maybe even accept the right one) if you really like it.  I may buy one of a couple of guitars I'm watching on eBay, but it would help me keep peace in my home if I even had a good prospect on selling the Guild!  :WNK>

I'm looking for a twelve string.  I have an Alvarez F-5 mandolin or a Seagull satin finish Spruce top and mahogany sides.  If you might be interested in trading.  I also have a solid mahogany F-5 mandolin, a Bean Blossom model 300 if interested.

The mandos are intriguing, but I'm really wanting to use the proceeds from selling this guitar to treat my GAS for a non-dreadnaught Larrivee to go with my D-03R.  Would you be interested in buying the Guild?

[MH3]

I've still got it, make me an offer if interested!

mes. sent to your private mes.

SOLD - finally!  I'm glad it's going to a forum member.
