Thank you.

I have three mid-70s Guilds, all are well made (two from '75 one '76). I also used to have a '78 D55 that was also a fine guitar. General consensus among Guild fans is that they have been consistent in quality through all of their different plan locations, although some do have a few qualms about the few years they were in Corona. '77 models were made in Westerly RI.
