Thoughts on the f-250ce deluxe

[Rayk]

Could be an illusion, or bad photo angle, but it looks like there's about zero saddle showing above the bridge to me.

Sure does and you can see the break angle nibbling away at the bridge . Darn nice guitar .

I just got my 250ce for Christmas and I absolutely love it. When it came the action was very high. For me anyway. But after a little adjusting I have it playing very well. I honestly can't believe the sound that comes out of this guitar for the price. I usually won't give recommendations, I believe it's a personal preference thing, but I really think you'll be pleased. I bought mine as B stock. I have $409 in it to my my door. It was bought and returned to the store so they listed as B Stock. It was brand new in a open box when it arrived. In the original box with all the papers and goodies Guild shipped it with. I bought it on reverb (made and offer). They had a few left.

I think the OM150ce would be better. I bought a used CV-1CE for a lower price and it sounds great. One is on Ebay for $1000 with hard shell case. They were made in Tacoma with better wood. Some had neck problems. They have bolt on neck making reset a lot easier.

Honestly, comparing an OM150 or CV series to an F250 is not an apples to apples comparison, as they're completely different beasts, and different price points as well.

And as for the "neck block" system on the Tacoma Contemporary series, there's a very good reason they don't make them that way any more. My luthier, who's a man of few words, called it the "stupidest design I've ever seen". Photo from his place.

EDIT: found the correct photo!

Those pictures are not a Guild !!! That's the Martin D-18! The Guild looked much worse...

D'Oh, just got Ralf'd! You're right, and not just any D18, my D18 David Crosby!. I'll fix that, but will have to dig around and see if I can find them.

I know I want a guild but I think I’d rather have the opportunity to try one out first . At the end of the im putting a deposit on a new Taylor. There’s a few models I’ve played and always go back to when they are at the store.

It’s between the 322ce or 324ce both with the Tasmanian black wood

It’s a good wait for it to come in but it gives me plenty of time to pay it off without screwing up my credit
