What is the difference between the Guild Models?

[Yoko Oh No]

I own a D50....simply because it was the best sounding and playing guitar I came across in my search for a well made acoustic (to my ears the sound was much more pleasing and even balanced than the Martin D28's and various Gibson models I played...and the Taylors were just too tinny and bright). But I digress....so I bought a D50 because they had a very nice used one on the wall for $700 bucks.

But, my questions is this: Is there anywhere I can find a chart listing the differences in wood/construction/tone/and anything else that might be relevant between the different models? I'm just curious because I played a friends F40 maple(or so me thinks) and it was so very different and beautiful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi YON: don't know of any charts but if you want to learn something about model-to-model / year-to-year differences and variations, try one of the two leading publications:

The Guild Guitar Book by Hans Moust
Guild Guitar History Vol. 5, by Ted Beesley

MY feeble attempt to collate all the Guild dreads was posted in this thread(scroll down to find the updated list)...
