I own two Guild Acoustic Guitars, a '75 D-35 and a '67 F212. Beside the fact that the D-35 is a 6 string and the F212 is a 12 string, I do use each guitar for certain sounds. Sometimes it is simply because I want a fuller sound or a less full sound. I like to play a lot of Celtic Style Music: English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc. For Sea Shanty Style Songs, my F212 (or in the past, a 12 String Guitar has been the guitar of choice), but for soft ballad style songs (i.e. Danny Boy; Loch Lomond), I choose to use a 6 string (which now is my D-35). Both of these guitars have a Mahogany back and sides and a spruce top, but the F212 is a Jumbo Style Guild and the D-35 is a Dreadnaught. I must say, that these are my first two Guild Guitars after playing several laminated top brands previously. I am hooked. I don't know if I will add another acoustic to my fold, soon or not, but I believe when I do, it will definitely be another Guild. I am a hobbyist, at best, even though I have been playing the acooustic guitar for 30 years or so. I enjoy playing a couple times per month at two local coffee houses that raise money for charity.
