A Guild classic is back! A single DeArmond Rhythm Chief 1000 floating pickup gives this hollowbody guitar a highly present, snappy tone that's rich and warm.

This is a beautiful instrument. Three minor issues: 1) The tailpiece can make changing strings extremely difficult. If the little washers on the strings are not lined up right, they get wedged into the narrow space and it's very difficult to get them out. The factory didn't install the strings correctly, so it took me roughly a half hour and a bunch of tools to change two of the strings. 2) The floating pickup floats closer to the bass strings than to the treble strings, so the E and B end are not as loud in the mix. I may insert a tiny piece of foam to correct this. 3) The Guild website invites feedback, but I got no reply.

The first guitar I was given was my dad's harmony patrician arch top, I love the guitar and it is so unique, I always wished that it had a pick up on it. Guild makes a wonderful guitar, it is so easy to play and it sounds fantastic.
While this is a "jazz" guitar, it rocks being played hard and the de armond pick up sounds great coming out of my cox AC 30.
The guitar feels like a solid guitar very professional, if I had a need to take it to a gig, I wouldn't be worried about performance issues with it.
I love the overall quality, feel, sound and looks from my Guild arch top.
I wish I had two more hands cause I'd give this guitar four thumbs up!

Bought one a few years ago from zZounds, it came with a crack under the pick guard at the area of the volume pot, the case lid was hard to close and that was the problem, zZounds made good on it as always but I have been tempted to try another one as it looked and played well.

Played it The instrument is great to play and is way better than I previously thought. Still having a issue with used equipment though . If you can purchase a new one do it!! It's worth it!
