Members greggap11 Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 Guild D-55 New, $1500 on Ebay, deal or no deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skatalite Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 A deal I would be cautious on. They usually go for around $2,500. So, $1k off seems like there's something wrong or it's some kind of scam. Have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won it, cross my fingers.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270596579363 I can always use my "Item Significantly not as described" card.. What should I be weary of once I get it, other than obvious stuff, cracks, etc. Could it be a clone possibly? Non valid serial number, etc?

Members FretFiend. Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 That seller has a marginal feedback record. That usually equates to lower bidder confidence, therefore lower selling prices. Says it's new. At that price I wouldn't expect it to be warranted as a new guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say GIULD on the headstock, is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FretFiend. Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 It does say GIULD on the headstock, is that normal? I hope not! It should say "GUILD" Since you already bought it, be optimistic. Check the serial number with Guild. If it isn't a real, new Guild D-55 you have recourse with Ebay/Paypal. If it is a real, new Guild D-55, you got a helluva good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Etienne Rambert Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's a beauty. I always wanted a sunburst D55. Congratulations. I won it, cross my fingers.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270596579363 I can always use my "Item Significantly not as described" card.. What should I be weary of once I get it, other than obvious stuff, cracks, etc. Could it be a clone possibly? Non valid serial number, etc? Go to www.letstalkguild.com and ask about this guitar. They'll be real helpful. They probably already noticed it in the EBay forum. Was it made in CT or in Tacoma? It could be a second from CT. Or it could be a Tacoma. Either way - it looks like you landed a real beauty. If it's a second, it will have something stamped on the back of the head-stock, "Not for re-Sale" or something like that. An antique sunburst D55 is as good as it gets in acousticdom. Congratulations. Even if there are little flaws -- I'd keep it. The CT Guild D55's will have open-back tuners. The Tacoma ones will still have the closed Grovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guildfire Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 Beautiful guitar. I have one. The D55 sunburst is my favorite model. If it's the real thing, you got a hell of a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fastblueheeler Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 If it's a second it'll have the last 3 numbers of the serial number Xed out on the back of the headstock. Fantastic price, good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
