Plus the truss rod cover's upside down. That's the last straw.I sent it back and said I’d have to think of it .
I definitely wasn’t going to pull the trigger on something I wouldn’t feel comfortable

That guild is nice but will eat up my bank account at the momentHey, Jared. The lifting bridge isn't such a big deal, but if the bridge plate is chewed up so that the string ball ends are working their way up through the holes, that would add a potential costly issue. The bigger issue for me would be finding a tech who has multiple Guild neck resets under his/her belt, and could give you a realistic timeline for completion. Not everyone tangles with Guilds.
At this price point, there's a pretty good array out there.

I was just asked what my best offer on the guild would be but honestly I wouldn’t know considering next week I should be able to afford a new USA made guild .
lol yeah , do you have any experience with the new USA made guilds ?Are you talking about the guitar with the detached bridge and mile-high action? Forget it, man.
I'd buy one a couple years old. It should still be in good shape and problem-free and someone else already paid the depreciation, like when you buy a new car. No warranty but I don't think that's worth much anyway, just my opinion.lol yeah , do you have any experience with the new USA made guilds ?
When my income tax comes in I can actually afford one
Actually no because we don’t have a dealer but there’s the d40e for $2500 cad newWell, you don't have to buy new either, Jared. It's entirely up to you. The one you were looking at was a basket case. Not usually the case with guitars in our marketplace or when we rate one highly in our online offerings forum
I do not have personal experience with Oxnard's products. I've probably heard most about the badly-named F-40 model which is almost universally loved by its owners. Do you have access to a store where you can try them out?
I wonder if any of our members are in CanadaI'd buy one a couple years old. It should still be in good shape and problem-free and someone else already paid the depreciation, like when you buy a new car. No warranty but I don't think that's worth much anyway, just my opinion.
It doesn't have to be from a member. I would just post anything you're thinking of buying here first and we can help you evaluate it before buying, if it's a good price, etc.I wonder if any of our members are in Canada

It’s tough man I’m stuck between a d-55 and Martin d-35 . The pressure is real manWe are a large group of enablers. Always happy to spend YOUR money.
You definitely should compare the two, Jared. That's an interesting comparison as both are nicely balanced rosewood dreads. Martin dreads don't sound like Guild dreads (to my ear), but I like both. Is it a plain Martin D-35 you're looking at or an HD or a V model? I like their vintage-style (HD and V) instruments more than their regular models, but there are many to choose from. If you look at an HD or a V, compare it to a Guild D-50 as well.It’s tough man I’m stuck between a d-55 and Martin d-35 . The pressure is real man
I do like a d35 but currently there’s none used around here.Oh, and unless you're buying used, you'll probably keep more of your investment with the Martin, if that matters to you.
Oh, you're looking to buy locally only, Jared? Keep an eye online marketplace anyway because the guys like to evaluate both craigslist ads and facebook ads and you might get lucky. I also urge patience.I do like a d35 but currently there’s none used around here.
