Feature:
Came with a great hard-shell case!

Quality:
Excellent quality.

Value:
In my opinion, this guitar is a tremendous buy for the price!

Sound:
I normally only play vintage guitars from the 1920s & '30s. But I wanted a guitar that I could take to gigs, parties, etc. where I'd be uncomfortable taking one of my vintage instruments. I was hoping to find a new guitar with a sound that campares with the old 1930s era Gibsons, Stellas, and the like. My Guild GAD-30 was the perfect choice!

Ease of Use:
This guitar plays like butter and is very responsive, too!

Support:
No.

Style of Music: country blues, fingerstyle

"The GAD Guild guitars are simply amazing!"

Quality:
I'm amazed that the Chinese Guilds are so well made.

Sound:
The very best guitar for the money...without a doubt. My GAD30 has its own great sound and plays almost as well as my Martin. If your looking for a fantastic, reasonably priced guitar..the GAD30 is it!

Ease of Use:
I love the size and handling of the OM's.
