All user reviews of 4/5 for the Guild GAD-50

Asian manufacturing (china) but a set of draconian guild loads, high quality wood handpicked, Solid sitka for the table, bottom and sides Indian rosewood, and silet Chavalet bone mechanical Grover Rotomatics short, an instrument that n 'taint no great reputation acoustic guitars Guild

UTILIZATION

the handle is excellent by its finesse and precision, but relatively steep perspective action high enough original it is difficult to get a low action even after adjustment to a luthier, unless planing and silet bridge (Hos..) I tried various drafts but nothing works .. otherwise handle very end in one piece a beautiful mahogany

SOUNDS

the sound of this guitar is rather part of a vintage style with lots of roundness and mids, the bass is huge! I could compare beef with a gibson j200 (4x the price of the guild ..) all maple that has nothing voir.la gibson (jumbo) to really less volume and a more modern sound, more flexible and less hot, the owner of this gibson was very surprised at the "raw" sound of the guild and its projection, however the action of very low gibson was a treat, violin and finishing of the same caliber but the guild holds road though ..

OVERALL OPINION

this guild is a guitar that he must attack both ballad "stonienne" in solo register, wood quality all solid and simple finish without frills but are nevertheless serious that at this rate, no guitar (or almost ) will compete in the category of very good guitars less than 1000 €

Made in china, but very good. The rest has already been said.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, but that is personal (it is very fine, some prefer the beams ...)
Access to acute is like all the folk without cutaway.
I think by then against the box way too big and too big, I much prefer the type boxes gibson J45.
The sound is very good, irrespective of the pulling ropes, really easy to get a good sound then.

SOUNDS

Then there is his strong point. Its a very versatile, but not without personality. There are a little shine of taylor with her bluesy martinis, a mixture actually.
I play mostly blues, but I'm glad it is not limited to the register and I can also play acoustic rock (and other).
I put a custom light shooting, shooting is generally not sound terrible (not hard), but thanks to the size of the box (I guess), it sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 8-9months I have.
Before buying it I tried a lot of model (nine) in the same price range (Taylor, Martin and others).
The report price is excellent, but I do not would do the same choice, I would focus on a model OCCAZ copy of the J45.

UTILIZATION

I had gone to Pigalle for a Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500R after having scoured the forums a lot, but after testing I realized that this was not the sound I was looking for. She gets too close for me the sound of the Takamine my friend, that is really a medium. I had to replace my massive Tanglewood (sounding good but is very hard to play). I tested this Guild Gad-50 and it's as if it made sense. I immediately had a good feeling with this shovel.

SOUNDS

I wanted a guitar with a punchy sound that had the respondent (for me, not the style that I find taylor too flat), it was enough roots as discussed below, to rock and be able to get on my nerves a bit and bin j 'I was not disappointed! We can not afford to attack the problem without it stumbles or loses its balance or its accuracy. She has this little meeting! It is happiness to play. At first she was rather metallic sound but due to new strings. After one week she has a more natural, and we feel it will improve over time. Only drawback, I find the varnish a bit thick, and we feel it stifles the sound a bit, but nothing too bad.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a short week that I have this guitar and it is very enjoyable to play, we do not get tired badly, it can last for hours and the risk is to see your girlfriend get jealous!
The strengths are its ease of play, his sound very well balanced between bass and treble, its flawless finish.
At that price, with a beautiful cover and more, all of it great. Purchased 750 € to Pigalle, I'm not ready to change!
