I am a new Guild owner, having picked up a brand spankin' new Tacoma-made D55. I went to the dealer with Martin on my mind, but walked out with a Guild instead. Hello, all!

Welcome to LTG ! Congrats on your new acquisition. I love my '76 D55. You'll love yours as well. Lots of fun stuff to read here and some very funny people with funny talk... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Congrats, Robin, and welcome to the LTG forum!

Which Martins were you A/B'ing the Guild against? I have an HD-28 which I really like. The Guild D-55 from Tacoma is a great choice! I played one of them recently and I think I'd've grabbed it in a weaker moment.

Enjoy!

Man, every time I turn around someone is walking out of the store with my guitar. :lol:

Good choice to be sure and welcome.

Or stung out. Whatever you do, don't got to Grot's website. :lol:

And, whatever you do, don't listen to what these guys say about other brands; it's all string theory.

I'm just as shocked as you are, Jerr. "Thy shall not have any other guitars...", thus says the scripture.

I compared the D55 to an HD28V and an HD35. The D55 sounded better (more harmonically complex and better overall balanced tone) to my ears and played more easily. I like the unique D55 appearance, too. But I still hold Martins in high regard. I just couldn't justify the extra cost at this point. Maybe one day I will buy a small-bodied Martin to compliment my new D55, although I am very happy with the Guild purchase!
