Greetings!
This is my first post after hanging about for a few months, so please bear with me. I returned to the guitar a year ago after a forty year hiatus, and am now ready for my first Guild. My return came via electrics, and now am ready to add a decent acoustic six-string to the herd. I love the big bold sound of Guilds, and wanted one back in the day, but couldn't afford one.
I am considering two guitars in my price range, an F-5ce and an AO-5ce. Neither is available to me to examine or play, but I have had good success with the two electrics I purchased sight unseen; a G&L and a D'Angelico. The vendor on the AO-5ce confirmed it is one of the "refurbished" Arcos models, and I am not sure if this should be a disqualifier.
Have any of you had issues with a refurbished Arcos? Which of the two would you select?
Thanks in advance.
Tom
