Got my '78 D-50NT new for $555 w/case in that year. It has a three piece ivory compensated bridge saddle mod by John Carruthers in L.A., and locking Sperzel tuners. It hates any strings other than .013 - .056 mediums. High mileage but truly indestructable. My first good guitar, chosen because I loved the way those Guilds looked on the Smother Bros. shows! Soon to be refretted at Carruthers. The frets are so worn nearest the nut that most open chords are all but impossible to play. Good service though, 30 hard years.
