Serial#: AD100080. The instruments in the Guild 100 Series are considered the most beautiful acoustics offered by the Rhode Island-based company. With its rosewood body bound by fine maple and inlaid with abalone purfling, the D-100 is made with Guild\'s most select AAA woods. The ebony fretboard with its distinctive abalone cloud inlays tops the hand-carved mahogany neck, which at the top meets an abalone-inlaid multi-layered headstock. Very few of these models were ever built seeing as they usually were custom-ordered.

This specific guitar was owned by country music legend George Strait, and the instrument bears his signature in black ink on the lower bass bout. Accompanying the instrument is a handwritten letter by Strait on his personal stationary, which reads as follows: \"This beautiful guitar came from my home in South Texas. Both me and my son Bubba played it over the years, rehearsing and learning new tunes. / I hope you enjoy this great guitar as much as we have. / Thanks, George Strait.\"
