I found a D-30 Blonde at a GC in Knoxville and decided to give it a try. I had it shipped to a local store where I picked it up.
I was very impressed, great sound, a little road rash but in great shape over all. Good action with lots of saddle left.
My only issue was that it was Guild's normal 1 11/16" nut width. I find that as I get older my fingers, like my waist, seem to be needing more room. My other guitars are 1 3/4" nut width and wider string spacing, more so on my 000-12 Fret. I find myself fumbling around with the narrower width. I know that there are tons of posts about whether that 1/16" really makes a difference, but it does, at least for me.
My first good guitar was an old D-25 Arch back and I have a special place in my heart for those era Guilds and would love to have one in my stable.
Unfortunately I ended up returning the D-30.
So, I have the following question for the experts...
Did Guild make something similar to the D-30, Spruce over Maple, Arch Back, Westerly build, with 1 3/4" nut width and slightly wider bridge spacing?
Thanks!
