American made (Corona, California) Cutaway dreadnought acoustic with Fishman Prefix Pro Blender. Glossy finish. All solid woods. The top is Spruce, back and sides are Rosewood. Grover Tuners. I bought it used but I'm certain that it comes with a Guild case. I think its gorgeous!
Sound
:
9
Like classic Guilds, this guitar has that classic booming sound. But unlike the old school Guilds it has a crisp clear mid range and high range. The sound is more like a 810ce Taylor or Martin D28. Its great! When I first got it, there seemed to be a short in the Fishman, but a quick cleaning of the connections inside the pickup fixed the problem. I feel confident in the sound of this guitar in many different genres.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

I played with the setup some but not very much. I'm a big fan of the Grover Tuners and was very happy to find them standard on these Guilds. To be honest I don't remember anything definite that was wrong with the action or finish, and that's crazy because I have a tendency to be very picky. It was great
Reliability/Durability

I have worked in music stores and love to go into any music store that I see and I don't think that I have ever picked up an acoustic that felt more sturdy. Period.

Overall Rating

I have played for around 8 years now. For fun and for cash on the weekends. I've played with a lot of different gigs with Martin's, Takamine's, Tacoma's and Taylor's, but I can't get away from this Guild. It fits everything that I need in a gig guitar and it doesn't feel like its going to fall apart any time soon. If this guitar were stolen I would hope that I could find another like it, because its incredible!
