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!
