I have the Grand Orchestra natural model above bought new in 2011/12 old stock as music business was selling off and I found this gem, however I can’t really play any good but strum and have learned a little more along the way now i’m retired !
These were very expensive new i believe over $3600 selling for around $3000, my guitar has only had bedroom use case as new but I did mark the guitar top just in one area about a quarter of an inch is all on a corner of my desk, thats it the rest is like new, to nbe honest I used my Washburn D60e as its easier for me to strum & finger play as these Guilds are quite deep, though the sond quality is really fantastic in the right hands!
when I last visited America I tried a Gibson J45 in a guitar shop and found it an easier shape for me to feel very comfortable on and now I think it feels great and I might get on better with that.
The over thing is I don’t use a plectrum just my fingers and again both Gibson & Washburn feels easier the way i play around.
So ! Wondered what value you would think was fair on the Guild if I sold it,not out to rob anyone though they are very rare in the UK but felt around $1450 was an excellent price for someone who can play really wants a top end traditional model, any thoughts appreciated ! At the end of the day its market forces but any replies appreciated !
