Sound

Plugged in, it's very versitle due to the Fishman Prefix. Unplugged, sounds good to me, well balanced, full. Suprisingly delicate. Unplugged this is not a loud guitar. I play a lot of Neil Young stuff on acoustic with lots in the first position with hammer on's & pull offs.
Action, Fit, & Finish

A really nice looking guitar, action is consistent up & down the neck. Looks good, feels good, sounds good.
Reliability/Durability
:

Well, this one is almost 10 years old and is in really good shape. As I said, looks good, sounds good, plays good.

Called Guild (really it's Fender now) to check the serial number. Tech support was fast courteous, efficient.
Overall Rating

No Opinion
My 2 son's & I own lots of guitars (over a dozen), I've been playing almost 30 years. Acoustics, electrics, Fenders, Gibsons, Yairi, etc. One strange thing about this guitar, it is surprisingly heavey.
