I started playing a nice burst Guild dread today and was pretty impressed by the sound (loud, great lows, nice highs) and looked in the soundhole to see the model and noticed its a New Hartford! So for those of you in the Chicagoland area, Chicago Music Exchange has started getting CT Guilds! Unfortunately, they're not uploaded to their webpage yet, but the D 50 is a dark burst much like their D 55, and their F 40 is natural.
I also got the chance to side-by-side test the CT F 40 vs a Tacoma F 40, and on that matter, the Tacoma has a slight edge. I agree with Frosty that the tuners are...up for one's opinion. They seem to get the job done though. I'm not sure if the price is standard because CME also had a '66 starfire XII and wanted $3595 for it! Hopefully someone else can give a more thorough report soon as this is coming from an electric guy. :?
