These mid 60's Hoboken, NJ made Guild guitars are some of the best values on the vintage market. The D-44 is a very unique model in their acoustic line up. It features pearwood back and sides with a spruce top and ebony fingerboard. Pearwood is a great tonewood that gives this dreadnaught a strong fundamental sound, with good projection and just hint of overtones. It sits somewhere between mahogany and rosewood, and also sounds similar to walnut. It excels at strumming and also works well for fingerpicking. This one is in excellent shape overall with a great neck angle and tall saddle. The frets are in excellent condition with hardly any wear. It also comes with the original hardshell case.
