1972 Guild D35 [4.5 lbs] :: setup

I'm a huge fan of vintage Guilds so it's always exciting to have one in the shop.  This mahogany dreadnought is in great shape for being 43 years old.  The setup included adjusting the truss rod, saddle and nut.  The frets are extremely low and uncrowned, but it plays surprisingly well.
