At age 42 I started lesson , and now 43 still not a guitarist per se. But I know enough to say this guitar is almost impossible to let you down. Starting with the look/finish it's an instrument of beauty. Being the Chinese version and at a very reduced priced (more on that later) I expected if there was gonna be an issue it would be in the finish.i was wrong, mine had no flaws that I could find anywhere. Then the neck, it's natural with no gloss finish whatsoever . At first I didn't notice and assumed was just a matte finish . There's no stickiness and your hand moves freely up and down the neck effortlessly for long periods of time. It came well setup , aside from string height a bit high (nothing crazy) it was intonated perfectly and after a slight tuning was ready to go and stays in tune very well. The tuners feel nice and "tight" in a good way. I don't feel as the slightest bump will allow them to spin me out of tune. For as beautifully sublime as it looks the sounds is what's important. Which I'm not sure I qualify to make a well informed opinion on. I will say before it I had bought a lower middle range fender which sounded very good and this is noticeably richer in tones . There's nothing in the guitar IMO that fell short. With the icing on the cake being an excellent hard case and zZounds price match/ beating the competition with the play as you pay plan . I got the guild on my guitar teachers recommendation and I'm not disappointed.
Ease of Use
The only slight issue , and it's just my inexperience I believe... Is the strings , though they sound perfect there's quite a ....for lack of a better term "rigidness" to em. In both slightly heavy and texture causing a bit of drag when sliding around the neck. New strings of your liking fixes this so why did I even mention it?
Quality
Is made excellent, I would not know it was a Chinese guild if I didn't buy it and or look.
Value
Absolutely worth it. Less than half the price of the USA version and excellent craftsmanship
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with em, zZounds is great .
The Wow Factor
I think I actually said "wow" at every stage of unpacking it.

Good guitar, but it should be shipped with better strings. Needed replacing out of the box. They were low quality and buzzy. Action is just a little low, but new strings kept in tune will help that. Great sound and sustain, overall good craftsmanship. For the money, it is well worth it. Would recommend this product.
