I have a Guild Model# D25M serial#142053,would like to know the year it was made? I got it from a pawn shop in the early eighties for cheap and have been draging this thing around for 20+ years. Yes it has it's battle scars(and they all tell a story) but it has to be the most sweetest sounding, easy playing guitar that I own! My 1985 Martin HD35 that I paid $2$%#@ dollars for dosen't come close to this Baby Doll! Can someone please help me date this?

According to my Gruhn book, it's a 1976. But, I'll tell you, I've always wondered about the reliability of those #'s. I bought a used D-35 around 1983 and called the Guild factory at the time and they said it was made at the end of 69 or early 70. Called again a year or two later for a dealer name and decided to ask the same question while I had them on the phone. Same answer. But the Gruhn book says 73. Not a big thing but I've always wondered where the info in the book came from if not from the factory? And if from the factory, did they have 2 sets of records?
