Check out the Orpheum series. Beautiful, well made, vintage vibe.

I'm really looking for a dread that has good bass behind the notes. I play more fingerstyle.

Don't worry about which factory the guitar was built in as long as it was in the USA.
My favs are the D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee, D-50 Bluegrass Special, and the D-55. However, if it's a built in the USA Guild, you're gonna love it. Bill |

I had a Corona built Guild-F512 and it was great sounding and very well built!

Definitely best guitar I ever played, but not many made and even fewer on the market ...

Thanks. I've been looking at the D-50 and D-55. Anyone know what a fair price is for those used?

The price you are willing to pay will depend to a large extent on the condition you are willing to accept. Older guitars with lots of wear and potential structural flaws that need expensive repairs can probably be had for <1K. For newer mint ones it would also depend on the model and condition, where D55 > D50 BGS > D50 STD. With some luck and patience you might be able to score a recent/decent D55 just south of 2K.

They come up quite often on ebay, at often reasonable prices, and are very highly regarded guitars amongst those within the LTG community. I have played a few, and they are a bargain compared to Martin D28/35 models. I Happen to own a very rare Guild JV-52 Jumbo, of which they only made 28, and it is stunning! Guilds on the whole are known for their string to string balance, clarity, and projection. Mine for a big 17" wide, and 5" deep Guitar, does it all, from strumming to flatpicking, right through to fingerpicking. It doesn`t seem to matter which U.S. factory they are built in, as they all seem to sound good. Although some of the 70/80`s Westerly models are built on the heavy side. Good luck with your hunt. Steve.

For many years, Guild was my notion of what a great guitar should be; particularly a great 12-string. I am very much looking forward to Guild's re-entry into the marketplace as a builder of American-made guitars.
With that said, I am beginning to feel like the old man awaiting delivery of a sandwich in the Jimmy John's commercial--"What took you so long?" Greg Rappleye |
