I don't think so. She looked to be at least 80. The cane was a dead giveaway.

I'm looking forward to next week when I'll be wearing that shirt again, walking into my local Barnes and Noble book store, and hang out in the ladies fitness book section.

I'm a believer but I don't attend Sunday services. Now that you've planted the thought in my head, it just might be fun to watch the ladies fainting away in the rows of pews.
Dammit, Brad! You're a bad influence on me.

Paired the strap with a 1980 Guild D25 manufactured in my hometown Westerly, Rhode Island.
Terrible lighting didn't do justice to the deep dark finish on the top.

Nice pair!
Love those guitars. I played an ‘80 d25M exclusively for 25 years.

Do you still own that D25M? Pics?

The original is on loan, most likely never to be seen again. But I liked it so much I picked up another.
The original I had since high school.
The new one.
I’m off for a holiday weekend. Can post dedicated pics next week.
I’m surprised these don’t get more respect, or command more $$$. Off course, I lowered the action and added an under saddle pickup. But these play well and have a rich tone.

Well-Hung strap posing with
Gibson Hound Dog Round Neck Dobro
The original spider had vibration issues. I replaced the spider.
My only nit now is that this same guitar is currently selling for about half of what Gibson was pricing it at 15 years ago (thereabouts).
Meh! Sometimes you win....sometimes you lose. With Gibson....it's hit or miss.
It's not for sale 'cause lady of the house says,
"That's real purdy".
