I have a couple of older Guilds that I did not want to take out of the house anymore. I figured I would get a new lower end Guild. I wanted new for some reason cause everything I have is old. When I looked at pricing and reviews it was plainly clear that the GAD series was the best value. You really should be able to get a good guitar under 500 bucks and with the USA ones you just can't. I also was convinced that after playing some and reading reviews the GAD's were very good guitars. I don't like things made overseas either but for my budget it made sense. I meant no offense to any former Guild people from Westerly. I wish things could still be the same also but in the world today if it wasn't for the Asian production, we probably would not have any new Guilds at all. I don't think they would survive selling 2000 dollar guitars. That is just the way of the world today and anyone who takes exception to buying an Asian built guitar,just go look in your driveway. I would bet that you all don't drive to Wallmart in a Ford or Chevy(I do).
