Stopped in last night to pick up what I had hoped was a mis ID'd D-25-12 per a thread in the ebay/craigslist section of the forums and while waiting for them to do the return paperwork I wandered into their acoustic room.
I saw this new pretty little burst cutaway Guild on the wall and of course I had to try it.
I was not in a great mood as I was really hoping to wrap my paws around a big hog 12 and hear some glorious Westerly magic so I picked this up with absolutely no expectations and frankly was a tad pessimistic.
Whoa.....
I played it for a few minutes just finger picking. It had some rather odd birdseye spots in the grain in ebony back but what a great guitar. I immediately looked around to see if they had changed the configuration of the room or wall material or something. This little beast just filled the room with sound and I was thinking maybe they had done something to the room to enhance sounds like a clothing store mirror would make you look slimmer. I found one of the GC thick red picks laying on an amp and decided to strum a bit. Hmmmm..So, again, still being in a bit of a foul mood I decided to push it a little....little beast pushed right back!!
I'm heading back there at some point today to confirm my feelings. i just checked the specs as I can't seem to warm up to 1 3/4 nuts but this was fine and just confirmed it's a 1 11/16.
Anyone else have one???
