"For the price, it outshines the competition"

Feature:
Came with a decent hardshell case, which was a little out of alignment. Tuners and bridge look ok. No pickups, which is exactly what I wanted. The cheap pickguard is terrible, I wish there was an easy way to remove it.

Quality:
It seems to be a well made guitar.

Value:
A great guitar at this price point. While it might not have the shimmer of a higher priced Taylor or the low end extension of some Gibsons, it is a very solid sounding guitar that is actually favorable, in some scenerios, than those, more expensive, guitars.

Desirability:
A lot of people love the way this guitar looks, I'm not really one of them. It's dark brown with an unnatural looking horizontal grain. It's also heavily laquered. The sound is what sold me.

Sound:
Best way I can describe the sound is "articulate". The bottom end is tight, the highs are clear (not shimmery) and the mid-range is a little pronounced. There is not a lot of sustain on the higher notes, but that could possibly be enhanced by string selection.

Overall:
I was not planning on buying this guitar. Once I heard it and compaired it other acoustics, I realized that I had stumbled across a deal.

"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 $.
