I've recently begun my search for an acoustic, and I've run into a used '99 Guild DCE-5 that has tickled my fancy. I'm on the verge of purchasing for $899 with an OHSC (had a center seam crack repaired).
I'm wondering if anybody knows anything about Guilds in this year / era? I've seen people throwing around the term Westerly RI, but I can't find any solid dates on when this was. I've also heard that post-Fender purchase, Guild is no longer as great as they were before Fender came into the picture. Can anybody give me some information / advice on this potential purchase? I appreciate it a lot!
