Well I now a own Guild D125-12.  Am I going to be pleased?  Never played one.  Haven't even heard one. I will find out on Thursday when it should be delivered. At least I bought it from someone I trust.  Still doesn't mean I will like it since I bought it sight unseen.  Even if I don't "alls good".  Helped out a friend and that was the important thing anyway.

Kate, one thing you should know. I live in Central Wisconsin. Our prices on many things are not what you pay on either coast. Also F-30s are not arched backed. And mine has a lot of battle scars and wear marks and had a plastic routed out replacement saddle. I had the saddle & nut replaced with bone. The saddle fully compensated and thenre-set up courtesy of Petros Guitars (check them out @ petrosguitars.com). The tuners 3 on a tree I replaced with Grover minis and added Ebony bridge pins. It was good sounding before all that but the litle bird really sings now

Thanks everyone -- Now I've got to steal some time to go play it, and see if the price will come down. As far as I can tell, and from what Ted got his for, the price is way too steep . . .

Note that any arched backs,are laminate, such as on the old D-25s.

@ Kate, I love it! To my best knowledge older Guilds are all solid/solid(members please correct me if I am wrong). It is like the newer Grand Concerts IMHO. And aged played wood is ... Just that. But play it first or get a return ability on it.

Hi all--heres a quick question for those of you who are lucky enough to own a

Guild dread with mahogany b & s:  80/20, or pbs?

last couple sets of pbs-lt ga that ive put on my DV6 have sounded to my ear very bright, almost tinny, & im looking for more depth & a richer tone.  almost bassier.

would it be the brand, the composition, the guage, or any or all the above?
