Guild GAD25 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar (with Case) Reviews

9 People rated this product :

"Guild GAD25: the hands down winner in TONE and value !"
Feature:
Plain Jane, but handsome grain in the mahogany and Grover tuners. Saddle and compensaed Nut (polished) are bone, plastic pegs. Black TusQ pegs would be ideal. Comes in a nice case wit ha good handle. Interior is really nice.

Quality:
Finish could be a bit lighter, but build and details are very good, Chinese workmanship. A sturdy and solid guitar that is fairly light and balances well.

Value:
Easily a '10'. At about 1/2 a grand, it is the best I've seen and I have bought and sold dozens of guitars (literally!).

Desirability:
It looks very good; mahogany all over and solid woods. The action and TONE is what sells it! It is not sexy, but it is handsome and feels and sounds GREAT! Martin wishes!

Sound:
Warm, round and punchy. Excellent sustain in an all solid mahogany guitar...bone nut and saddle! Get the action set a bit lower by a pro luthier to 3/32 and 2/32 on the bass and treble E strings at fret 12.

Support:
Cannot say, but buy from the reputable dealer if possible.

Overall:
'10' easily. Almost unreal value for the $. Great sounding and handsome with bone nut/saddle and Grovers and well built and finished. It's a remarkable guitar for the $.

"Buy a Guild and you will love it."
Feature:
Very nice hardshell case included

Quality:
It is very well made and flawless - Great Workmanship.

Value:
Try buying a well made "all solid" wood guitar for less. However, I did notice last month the price went up from $500.00 to $650.00. However, it is stil a good buy.

Desirability:
The mohogany guitar is the most beautiful guitar with a high gloss shine.

Sound:
Beautiful warn sound

Ease of Use:
I love the sound of this guitar - it is a keeper.

Support:
Fender now owns Guild. I have emailed to them about a few products, and they do not answer any of my emails. Not sure why, but not good Customer Relations.

Overall:
I have tried them all in many stores - most Big Brand named guitars where a lot more money, and still had veneer wood backs and sides. The Guild guitars (all models) are all solid wood - no veneers. This guitar is a keeper. The Guild guitar company was bought by Fender Guitar company, and Guilds are now made in China - excellent workmanship.
