I just purchased a GAD JF 30 jumbo, my introduction to Guild guitars.
By way of full disclosure, I also have a 1974 Martin D-28, a 2001 Gibson J-45, a mid-2000's Washburn parlour, and a late 1960's Matsumoku factory Gibson ES 335 knock-off.
According to information I found on-line, my Guild-designed, Chinese built GAD JF 30 was made in December 2003, which would make it an early model. Despite needing some repairs which I intend to have made, it is a impressive, and beautiful instrument, with a loud, bright voice. There does not appear to be a great deal of literature to be found regarding it, even about simple specifications such as recommended string gauges, and I would appreciate if anyone could steer me to information or if knowledgeable about these instruments, answer my questions.
Please and thanks,
