I'd appreciate any advice you have regarding the M-20. I am interested in purchasing one but have come across a lot of conflicting reports; ideally, I'd like an American made Guild (I am overseas where it is prohibitively expensive to buy one but have an in to get one shipped cheaply to my current locale -- the bad news is that I will not be able to play it before buying it = scary). It looks like all new Guild guitars, or at least the current M20 equivalent, the M120, is built in China so that one is out.
I'm looking at getting a new-ish Guild M20 built in Westerly before the Fender-initiated move (1990s or 2000). I've read some that say these guitars are great, others that say that for some reason for these particular years the guitars sounded more ukulele-like and lacked the depth of tone found in earlier and later models. I don't expect anyone to have a clear answer to this, as I suppose it depends upon the individual guitar in question. However, does someone know how much these Westerly guitars retailed for new and how much they should go for now?
Thanks in advance for your answers and any other unsolicited advice you might have for me.
