Mica said:While picking up a non-Guild guitar that had just had some work done, I decided to bring in my D25 to have it evaluated. Its an 87 and has been in need of some work for an embarrassingly long time. Apparently it needs to have the fret-board re-planed and new frets put on (needing new frets was the only obvious issue, to me anyway). I mentioned that I was glad that it didn't need a neck reset and his response was that it will probably never need a reset, that Guilds are over-built and rarely need to have their necks reset. He also recommended that I use medium gauge strings instead of lights because in his opinion, due to the amount of mass on the top, I'm not getting the full tone that the guitar is capable of by trying to drive it with light gauge strings. Any thoughts?

I agree. Try some mediums.
You will love the tone and volume but the strings will be a bit harder to bend.
I use mediums on all my dreds. It helps then achieve their full potential.
