Guild D50

Guild D-50Published on 07/18/04 at 15:00
I bought a demo D50, online, and was scared that it would not be what I hoped. I could not find a new one locally, so I risked the disappointment. Though it has a scratch here or there, and not pristine, the sound is just what I expected. I've tried many guitars, some twice the price or more.

Deep and precise bass, good mids and clear singing highs. No hint of any "tinny" sound. A bit of tweaking here and there, which every new guitar should have, this guitar will hold it's own against any guitar. The finish has a blem, as it was used for a demo.

I bought a demo D50, online, and was scared that it would not be what I hoped. I could not find a new one locally, so I risked the disappointment. Though it has a scratch here or there, and not pristine, the sound is just what I expected. I've tried many guitars, some twice the price or more.

Deep and precise bass, good mids and clear singing highs. No hint of any "tinny" sound. A bit of tweaking here and there, which every new guitar should have, this guitar will hold it's own against any guitar. The finish has a blem, as it was used for a demo. But fit and materials are very nice, much flashier than needed. Guilds are prettier than they need to be. Don't be sold on a name. Try as many upper end axes you can find. Though it is the subordinate of the D55 now, it's not because of the sound.

The neck is not slim by any means. But built to last. It could go to a 24 scale like the Gibson J45 and really smoke. But, not being an engineer, it may change the tone.

Built very well, like a tank. But, as is the case with any good guitar, time will tell. Storing it is very important. Heat and humidity changes can and will ruin the best made solid wood guitars. If that is a major concern, there are new carbon body guitars that sound amazing



I got a great deal. I paid half of the "on sale" price, and expected worse condition due to being a demo. If I had to pay full MSRP, I would. It's that fine of an instrument. Find a store that has both Guild/Martin/Gibson/Taylor and some of the newer names, and compare. It's difficult to find that many major names so you can compare them all together at the same time, same place. Just don't get into the name game. Sigma is not a Martin, Fender is not a Guild
