IDK. Not wanting to cast stones at the company who is trying to save Guild... But, it used to be you could buy a Guild instead of a Martin and have a lot of extra money in your pocket left for other things.
Now... Guild's seem every bit as much as a Martin -- and maybe even more. I am just thinking if I were trying to woo the masses away from their Martin (or Taylor) obsession, I might come in less than -- not the same price as.
Sweetwater has the Martin D-18: Spruce top, Mahogany Back and Sides for $2459. The Guild D-40: Spruce top, Mahogany Back and Sides: $2499.
Both Dreads, 20 frets. Hardshell case included.
If you want "that Guild Sound" -- OK, you'll pay more. Why not? But, if you want a guitar from a company you're pretty sure will still be around in 2030, it's hard to argue against Martin.
Just wondering if it is just me... But I think they are making a mistake. (Guess its good for the vintage market tho!)
