Manufactures in the United States (MODEL is a former dating from 1990), she accompanied me for fifteen years.

Blonde color (visible in the video of Patience GNR). The color and the wood grain and finish are superb in this version much better than US versions of the following CA or China ...

20 frets, Grover tuners etc.

UTILIZATION

What j'apprcie this MODEL is that it's a jumbo and I find it comfortable to play trs, although it must be sr fairly large with long arms, if not the game might be uncomfortable ... Indeed, given the thickness and size of the box, it plays right arm almost collrepos above, nothing to do with the game on an acoustic "classic".

The handle is perfect for me. Access in acute is correct, it is a sound and large size have happened at the end of the handle, it is more difficult than recess on an electric or a more modern sound and plenty of cargo not are not (or hardly) playable since there is no dcoupe unless you have long fingers!

The ergonomics are perfect if you love jumbo, good balance trs, trs good performance in a sitting position.

The change of rope is easy and everything feels trs high quality APRS 15 years of use, I have nothing dplorer, she is still beautiful.

SOUNDS

With a jumbo, we can expect a large and powerful sound plutt is the case, the bass are Submitted and the mdiums. The game mdiator without fingers is possible and sounds good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 years, I really like the ergonomic body that fits easily, it does not slide or do not address a ct or another. The quality of manufacture is rev up, I can not criticize anything.

We can blame the weight and body size, it is clear that it takes its place and is likely to be unplayable for short people, but hey, this body size is also the sound of jumbos.

Before the acqurir I jou quite a Takamine that had nothing to see;) I also tried many MODELS Gibson, Martin or Taylor, but I good grip on the Guild. The models Gibson liked me but the price made them unaffordable.

The price quality ratio of this model is exceptional. That of the current MODELS made in China looks to me as good. I must say that the finishes are not the same, the paint is not the same either ... It is a pity that Guild has gone bankrupt and is bought by Fender t without retaining what made the brand Notore is to say the guitars but durable and affordable hand made by the end of the beginning the United States.

With exprience, I would do the same choice for a jumbo in this price range, even if over the years, I would choose can be a Martin D28 or if I had a money Gibson J45;)
