This is a really good guitar. Made in Korea but fit, finish, and craftsmanship are excellent. I really like the tones available with the Guild pickups (although I would have preferred P90's...but that' just me).One thing I was really pleased with is, due to the description, I expected the neck profile to be a bit more chunky (it's described as a vintage profile) but much to my joy it is slim neck.Comes well set up right out of the box but, like with any new guitar, it's worth taking it to a luthier to have the set up fine tuned.

Musical Style:

Blues, country, rock.
