Description: Description Guild is famous as one of the three major acoustic guitar manufacturers in the United States, along with Martin and Gibson. With the rise of Taylor Guitar and others, it has become a lesser known manufacturer in recent years, but it is a traditional guitar manufacturer that supported the music scene from the 1950s to the 1980s. This time we have a D-35 made in 1979, during Guild's heyday. Unlike recent reissues, this guitar has a thick, full sound! Guild dreadnought body with spruce top, mahogany sides and back, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, 43.3mm nut, and 25.5-inch scale. The original Guild is characterized by thick wood for the bracing and a heavy overall weight, which is why the original Guild sound is thick and powerful, which is a special feature of this era! The sound is thick and powerful! It doesn't have the delicacy of a Martin sound, but it does have a masculine, rugged sound. It doesn't have the wild feel of a Gibson, and it has more sustain than a Gibson, so if you think that a Martin is too gentle and a Gibson is too rough, I think this is the perfect sound for you! If you play it with a flat pick, you can enjoy the powerful and dynamic stroke sound, and if you pluck it with your fingers, you can get the straightforward and transparent sound that is characteristic of a mahogany body, so I think it's an all-purpose sound that can be used regardless of playing style or genre! The condition of the instrument is small scratches, signs of use, and aging due to its age. There are many small dents and scratches, but they are all normal scratches that occur when you use it, so I don't think there are any areas that are particularly noticeable as a vintage guitar. The body has some weather-checking and some dents that are noticeable even from a distance, but although it does have the dignity of a vintage guitar, I don't think many people looking for a vintage guitar will be bothered by these scratches. Also, the crack along the PG line that is common to Guilds of this age is located on the inside of the PG, next to the fingerboard and under the sound hole, but it has been repaired with glue and a reinforcing cleat has been installed on the back, so there is no need to worry about its strength. It is only noticeable on the surface, so I don't think it is a concern for an antique guitar. The neck is in good condition and is mostly straight, and the current string height is about 2.7 mm on the 6th string side and 2.0 mm on the 1st string side at the 12th fret, which is the best setting. There is not much room left in the saddle, but the string height can be lowered by a few tenths of a millimeter. The frets are somewhat worn down overall, but even at the most worn part, they still have about 60-70% of the original height, so there is no need to worry about refretting for the time being. Enjoy the Guild sound, which is neither Gibson nor Martin, but a unique sound!
