A music shop recently opened in my area. ONLY place that stocks Guild. It’s absolutely thrilling! And possibly devastating to my “if I buy one I have to sell one” policy regarding guitars.
I picked up a D20 all mahogany. I enjoyed it. But when I put a capo on it I was shocked to find that the notes sounded full and clear and alive. Unlike my guitar at home (different wood/brand, similar shape/size) where the capo leads to dull lifeless sounding notes. All in tune from an adjustable capo. But kind of lifeless and uninspiring. The D20 was amazing sounding no matter where I played it!
Now for my question
Any insight into what might cause a capo note to choke out and be lifeless? Or do Guilds just have the magic sauce?
