The MIC imports look way better.
Five new affordable arched back models join Guild’s Westerly Collection.... dreadnought (D-240E), concert (M-240E), orchestra (OM-240CE and OM-240E), and jumbo 12-string (F-2512E Maple). These five guitars feature Guild’s AP-1 pickup, bone nuts and saddles, rosewood bridges, and fingerboards, tortoiseshell pickguards, fully bound bodies, mother-of-pearl appointments....
Thought that was "list" on the D20? For comparison, that's only about $50.00 more than what my D25 listed for in '96.$1200 to $1300 seems like a lot for a "street price" on the mahogany models. Todd

Even if it's $100.00 more, I say that's pretty darn cheap when you factor in 20 years of inflation.
Or am I wrong about the current list prices?
Compare it to the Martin 15 series and it sounds right!$1200 to $1300 seems like a lot for a "street price" on the mahogany models.
FB creeps me out, big time.
I'm not on it either.
Compare it to the Martin 15 series and it sounds right! The Martin 15 series is way cheaper done, so with the M-20 and D-20 you get a much better Made in USA guitar from Guild. Even if I have not touched them yet I trust in Ren.

Let's hope, Sandy. I'll bet the D-20 is pretty darned good!No offense Ralf, but I'd be surprised if either of these were as good as Martin's 15 series. The D20 would have to be awful good to be better than the last D15 I played, and that might happen at some point, but likely not out of the box at Oxnard.
