My GC has both of these in stock. One is a used Guild DC1E HG True American:
Guild DC1E HG True American Acoustic Electric Guitar
The the other is a new Guild OM-240CE.
Guild OM-240CE
I played them both. But (as I mentioned in a previous thread) the DC1E seems to have Silk and Steel strings which is effecting its tone. I'm thinking of going back in and asking if I can put a new set on it just to see. I wasn't paying attention to the action because I didn't expect to see it. Both felt a little high in action, but I'm planning on getting a setup for either. I will take my scale ruler with me next time (along with a snark)
Wasn't in the market (I'm sure you've heard that one before) but I have been thinking it would be a good idea to have a flattop guitar I could travel with. I'm thinking of trying to work a trade for another guitar I have (not Guild).
I think one of these might fit the bill for a travel guitar. As far as I can tell the specs are identical: 11/16" at the nut 16" radius. 25.5" scaled length. Both cutaways. Both onboard electronics.
Anyone have experience with either of these enough to offer some info? Thx!
