Year: Early 1970s

Place of manufacture: USA

Color: Trans Red

Case/Extras: Comes with original hard case

Modifications/Repairs: There is some red touch up paint near the heal (please see picture 5 for more detail) There are no cracks or crack repairs on the instrument anywhere.

Cosmetic Condition: Very condition with the aforementioned light touch up paint and some scratches, marks and other signs of this guitar’s age. There is a small split in the binding on the both sides of the neck right where the neck meets the body. The binding is completely stable here and won’t give you any trouble. The rest of the binding is near perfect save for some “yellowing” from age. Overall condition is an 8 out of 10 condition

Operational condition: Fully-functioning

Description: Here’s a rare Guild that plays and sounds awesome! The “D” in M80-D is for Dimarzio so this one has had the Super Distortion pickups it currently sports since it left the factory and they sound big and toneful. Unplugged, the guitar is resonant and responsive to your playing and the neck is a joy to play on with a thin (ish) to medium neck; those wide and lower frets (but still lots of life left to do a fret crown and polish or three) that were so popular in the 70s and a fresh setup from our tech. This model is a rare one, the likes of which you may not see become available again for quite some time and this particular M80-D is a real sweetheart that can get as mean as you want it to.
