I am so jazzed that I won a D40 on ebay today. It's a Tacoma model with the red spruce top. Now the anticipation starts. I'm buying this without ever having played one because I have great faith in all the reviews plus I used to own a D50 many years ago. I have never played a bad Guild so I don't think I'll be starting now. I love the sound of the adirondack. I played a Martin D18GE with adi at a Guitar Center and have been wanting an adi topped guitar ever since. Needless to say the Martin is signifcantly more expensive that the Guild!! Hard to believe that Guild can make and sell adi topped guitars for the price they do and they are an absolute steal as a used guitar. Apparently few people have discovered their Bluegrass Jubilee models which is good for me. Yahoo!
