This guitar is so worth it. It was set up perfectly for play right out of the box, and once tuned up, it sings. Very fast action and quick response, great sustain, and a good boom in the low register. The finish is very excellent, smooth as silk, and the neck lets the hand glide quickly and easily. The action on this guitar is perfect, no sign of fret buzz and no high places anywhere on the neck. This is a great effort from Guild, making an affordable, great playing guitar that I would compare to many of my high end guitars. I highly recommend it.

Amazing guitar! setup had that taken care of by a local shop. Love how it plays now.

Very pleased with this guitar. Economically priced and a easy player. Especially for flat picking. Was wrapped and shipped very well.

Beautifully made and even came in perfect tune. Can't ask for any better when a fine product such as this is better than you expected.

I've never been more pleased with a guitar purchase except perhaps my 016 Strat or my 77 LP. I've owned a Gib^&* G45 at three times the cost, and as soon as I laid my hands on this Guild, I sold off that other guitar and this became my number one. Now I know the 45 is a classic dating back to pre-WWI years, but they are still being made today, and are not cheap despite using some very basic materials in manufacture. This Guild is everything those guitars are and more. The neck is fast and easy, the top is extremely resonant with just the right amount of lo-mid-high balance, the finish is a beautiful gloss that shines up like a mirror, yet the neck is matte to avoid stickiness. I just love the look and aesthetic of the slope shoulder design; It doesn't feel like a dreadnaught, yet has the voicing of one. If you are in the market for one of these and can't decide between the Gib*&^ and the Guild, I say pop for the Guild. They are the best kept guitar secret out there, and if Guilds are good enough for Fahey, they're good enough for me!
