🎸 Guild D-26 NT (1995) — Westerly, RI USA

Closet Queen • Gold Tuners • Original Guild Hardshell Case (OHSC)
Serial: AD260353

If you have been looking for a lifetime guitar this may be the one. Beautiful mature tone woods and a musical shimmering sound. It's just a very nice instrument.

If you know Guild, you know Westerly, Rhode Island. This is the era that built the reputation—excellent wood selection, consistent builds, and that unmistakable big Guild dreadnought voice. This 1995 D-26 NT is a wonderful example: warm, punchy, clear, and loud when you lean into it.

The D-26 is often considered a close cousin to the D-25, with upgraded appointments—on this one the gold tuners are the perfect finishing touch.

✅ Quick highlights

Measured at the 12th fret 2.5mm bass side and 1.75 treble string height from bottom of string to top of fret.

  • Westerly, RI USA build (1995)
  • Solid spruce top / mahogany body
  • Gold tuners
  • Original Guild hardshell case included
  • Plays great; only light fret wear
  • One small top crack under soundhole (details below) — priced accordingly
  • ⚠️ Condition note (please read)

There is a small, tight ~2/3" spruce top crack just below the soundhole (visible in photos). It does catch a fingernail. It presents as stable and has no impact on tone or playability and was professionally sealed. I’m listing it conservatively and pricing accordingly. Please review the close-up photo and message me with any questions.
