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!

Came with a great hard-shell case!

This guitar plays like butter and is very responsive, too!

Excellent quality.

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

Sounds like a high-end, well-built Guild should. Enough volume for finger picking, and a warm tone when strummed or flat picked.

Comes with a first-rate Guild hardshell case.

With some minor set up work, this guitar plays and feels like guitars that are hundreds, if not thousands of dollars more expensive.

Arrived in absolutely perfect condition, with no cosmetic or mechanical flaws.

The best guitar you can buy at this price point. Easily in the same league with Taylor 400-500 series guitars which cost hundreds more.

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!

I love the size and handling of the OM's.

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