I bought a second hand, small-bodied Eastman several weeks back. The long story short is that after a set-up and fresh D'Addarios I sat down one evening to get to know the new guitar in depth. What really stood out for me was that it had an extremely well balanced and even tone. So what does this have to do with Guilds? Well, in my mind, that is exactly how I would describe the "Guild" sound! Every Guild I have ever played has demonstrated a high level of balance. I have come to consider it a trait. I don't mean to say it sounded like a Guild because it didn't. It was another flavor altogether but the guitar's strong balance was so familiar it was Guild-ish. I have never played another guitar that reminded me of a Guild. So, I may be a fool but that's what I heard.
