One great accoustic guitar

Posted by slickster53 from Pembroke, MA. on Jan 18, 2008

I have always loved Guild accoustics. I bought my GAD-40c about 2 years ago. It is the best accoustic I have owned thus far. The sound is beefy and the tone is very good. I did find that it buzzed a bit at the middle of the neck when I fist got it. But a setup at my local music store fixed that. Since then it has been a dream to play. I usually play electric but I have been playing this a lot and find it hard to put down. It has also helped improve my playing. If you are looking for a very good accoustic at a nice mid-range price....buy this one. YOu won't be dissapointed.. believe me.

Guild GAD-40C Not Bad

Posted by Ken Web from Gunnison, Co. on Dec 9, 2007

Reviewer's Play Style: Finger picking, bluegrass

Buying a gutiar on line is a big challange. The cloest big retailer is 250 miles away, and not much inbetween here and there, unless you want to pay retail. I have owned a Guild jumbo, a Gallagher rosewood, Martin D28vr, Taylor 18. All awsome units. Due to money and kids in college I sold them all. Being with out an acoustic has been to much to live with. So all that being said. I started looking again with a small budget. Almost bought the Martin D 15, until I looked at this guitar and read the reviews. It is almost the same guitar as Martins D18. Its plays and sounds very sweet. Well worth the money!

Great Sound, Better Price

Posted by If its good I'll Listen from New Jersey on Jan 27, 2007

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Guitar lover

Reviewer's Play Style: Jam Rock

Just picked this model up and can't be happier with the action and tone it gives. A little fret buzz higher on the neck but with a new set of strings and a quick adjustment it should be smooth sailing. The sound and playability battles any make and model in higher price ranges. Good deal for those looking for something to get better on... Peace!
