The single pickup is mounted under a rosewood cover just below the fingerboard, with tone and volume controlled by mini-pots on the uper treble bout. This was a system used by the Hoboken company in the '60's, but is very rare on a D-40. The label reads \"D-40 Special\" and the guitar dates to mid-1967; it remains an excellent instrument and a very versatile guitar.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 42 in. (106.7 cm.), 15 7\/8 in. (40.3 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 3\/4 in. (12.1 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 25 1\/2 in. (648 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11\/16 in. (43 mm.). Very nice original condition; tuners changed to Grover Rotomatics early on but all else appears original-knobs are an unusual style for Guild but are Daka-Ware correct for the period. Some finish wear overall but no major loss; an excellent playing guitar with a very fine full acoustic sound and a suprizingly good amplified tone as well. Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852968480908,"sku":"5747","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_956fcc60-4877-4fbe-9c48-c55309abbc76.jpg?v=1774329071","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/guild-d-40-special-flat-top-acoustic-electric-guitar-1967-5747","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
