I will not dwell on the features, everything is said on the site GUILD.

The'm going to add that if you are reluctant to buy Chinese, with this guitar, among other things, we must forget.
The finish is exemplary, far better than some GIBSONS Acoustic, which I possessed. I have 2 Martin, a D28 and D40 TOM PETTY signature and the Guild does not have to blush before the D28, on the contrary.
American guitar design that is machined in China, but today when we know the pieces are cut by routers digital, with an accuracy of one micron, why would not she good? As long as one is careful to assemble, (And the Chinese are) and that it uses high quality wood, we can only do it well.
The table is in a beautiful spruce, is solid mahogany, with a handle carved in one piece. I wanted a mahogany body for a sound a little different.
Note that the frets are made of bone. The varnish is very good. And all delivered in a beautiful box rigid.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a real highway, and access to acute without problems. I just filed down to 2 mm the bridge saddle, because the original action is a bit high for my taste ..

SOUNDS

I climb with ropes Martin SP 12/54 Bronze and I was amazed by the overall balance of this guitar and especially the deep bass, rare on a slant.

OVERALL OPINION

That's all I have 10, because I have evidence of comparison, with acoustic guitars tees upscale, and that to have such quality in Martin, Taylor or Gibson, it will pay faloir 3 to 4 times more.
Undoubtedly a very very good guitar ... and that, given the price, I can get to the beach, I've never done with my martin.
A BUY WITHOUT MODERATION.
