Here's a situation where we need Al. If you've visited before, Adorshki is a member who chimes in with info and details and history probably more than you ever needed or wanted, but he's on a self imposed quarantine at home with no wifi. So we'll have to do our best. You don't mention any history. First guitar? First acoustic guitar? Been playing for years? How many of what type of guitars do you currently have now? These are all questions that will help us to help you. Also, as a new member your posts are automatically monitored by LTG to make sure you're not a spam generating evil robot so, your posts may be delayed in showing up here. After a few, they will start showing up in real time.
This particular guitar gets good reviews from people here on the forum. Dreadnaught size and shape, all solid woods, and other than bracing and possibly neck and heel blocks, all mahogany including the soundboard which will give you a bit more mellow and less crisp sound than spruce. But all this is on the website where you've obviously spent some time. If you can get somewhere and play one, that's about the best thing to do. However, during the current state of affairs with the COVID-19 virus, most shops I know are closed. Plus we don't know where in the world you are, so you may not have access even after this lockdown to play one in person. Depending on where you buy it, you may get some kind of return policy in case you don't like it and just pay shipping to return which is important if you don't like the guitar.
I personally think you're gonna love it, and they're beautiful with that sunburst finish and the mahogany is beautiful. Do you have a vendor in mind? You can't buy directly from Guild, except for parts and accessories. That's all I have for ya. Good luck!! :encouragement:
