At the time I bought it, I didn't know jack about guitars and just wandered into Matt Umanov's in NYC, strummed the few chords I knew on a bunch of instruments in my price range and picked this one.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have one and love it.  It is solid wood throughout.  Spruce top, Mahgony back and sides... all solid.  The nut and bridge are both made of bone and that guitar is a cannon.  Mine is a pure dream to play and has a very mellow tone.  I also have a Larrivee LV-03k, Seagull M6 and Yamaha 423-S.<br><br>The Guild gets the most play time.  I have to admit the Larrivee sounds better but at three times the cost.  My Larrivee sits in it's precious case so it won't get destroyed by my kids and the Guild hangs on the wall to pick up anytime.<br><br>When and if I ever need another guitar I'd go for the Guild GAD 50C.  I like the brighter tone of the rosewood.<br><br>Go for it!!!<br><br>Stan]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It's possible some of the more expensive models are still being made in Corona, CA. I should really check into it. The GAD series is definately Chinese.  I just love these things, even if mine were two of the cheaper makes made near the end of the Westerly run, they're still solid great sounding instruments. I've tried to convince myself that the size is a bit large for me and I don't need two of them, but I just can't let them go. I know I'd regret it. The dreadnought especially, i's solid top has aged beautifully. They always had a good reputation as a workingman's guitar. <br>One thing I'm curious about, which if any of the newer series has the signature arched back?]]></content:encoded>
