The BEST Intermediate USA Built Guitar | Guild D-20 Acoustic Guitar Review

[@papawrichard3553]

I really love all mahogany guitars. My favorite Martin has always been the D-15, all Hogs seems to fit singer songwriters and solo performers very well.

[@MrPanpanam]

went to check out the Guilds available at the local shop, from my experience with Martin D15 I expected the whole mahogany guitars to not rock my boat but man what a surprise Guild D20 was! Bought one instantly!

[@tomformanek3312]

Guild made great folk guitars. Their mahogany b&s guitars really accentuated the mids. What I love about my D20 is that the bass is clear and strong. It doesn't pretend to be a Martin D15 copy. It is a Guild through and through. No apologies. Forget the headstock. It's all abput the tone.

[@omax1023]

Guild guitars are amazingly beautiful sounding and beautifully design.... That headstock is so appealing and fascinating!

[@benjohnstonmusic5131]

I love my 2010 D15 so nice! Hog Guitars are awesome and these Guilds sound great!

[@AcousticShoppe]

Glad you like them! They're great guitars!

Sounds amazing. I love the sound of an all mahogany guitar.

That D-20 and the M-20 sound awesome and great playing!😀

[@colinclement2752]

I've always loved the warm sonorous tone of mahogany. Guild makes fantastic instruments.

[@shred5]

Guild went through some production issues in the later Westerly years until they moved to Oxford. The earlier Westerly-made Guilds were absolutely fantastic and can be had at reasonable prices, and the newer Oxfords are on par as well. I wouldn't be too keen on buying an older Martin without an adjustable truss rod on the other hand.

[@RichardPerrymanGuitarist]

Guild is my favorite acoustic. I own 2.

[@sixstringstak]

Thanks for making the video 🙂 I have to agree sir! Guitars are being built better today and the D-20 today sounds better imho than the vintage ones.

Ren Ferguson has started a new guitar company with his son in Montana.

[@robertahli3738]

Such a warm tone

[@cugir321]

Some are good....some not. I grew up in the 1970's with old Guilds.... had a X500 and and still have a SG60 (monster upgraded electric). I love Guilds but they're not all great. Play it before you buy it. Always loved their headstock. I agree with your statement that there are a lot of good guitars out there....if you're patient you can weed through the chinese or cheaper American stuff and find some killer acoustics. I just saw a Mitchell T414 CE-BST torrified top that is a killer guitar. (Never thought I'd say that...bought it for 215.00 on clearance) Had to look at 7 to find a good one. Most of them had major problems like humps in the fingerboard. I'm glad you're doing the return policy now. You have to these days...there is internet trash out there.

[@ryanbloom1738]

Rad thanks 👍 I love my burst D20.

[@AcousticShoppe]

Right on! Thanks for watching!

[@Jameswilliam1982]

Guild IS a premium brand

[@pickersgrip]

Man, they sound great!!

[@AcousticShoppe]

We agree! Thanks for watching!

[@eyesintheskies]

Loved your comment on the weirdness of social media 😂

[@papawrichard3553]

Wondering if you can get the vintage sunburst without the pick guard, because I think a fire stripe pick guard would really make it look better

[@tomformanek3312]

You would have to remove it.

[@ellisagutierrez9574]

I think both guitars sound great!

[@AcousticShoppe]

We're glad, thanks for watching!

[@texhaines9957]

Nice demo and love that song. Guild is really coming along. Thanks for the video. Al-Gore-Rhythms ? Do they save your channel like he tries to wake people up to save the planet?

[@AcousticShoppe]

Yes and yes🤣

[@tomformanek3312]

The old version was the D-25, not the D-20. Eventually Guild started building them with molded backs and stained spruce tops.

[@KenSwiatek]

not exactly: The D-25s were arch backs. Solid hog = D-15.

[@startreker8591]

Chorus built in…I use Santa Cruz strings ❤…btw my first guitar here in CA when I arrived here in the mid 90’s a ThinLine CENT spruce rosewood y the m 20 y last year this D55 was extravagantly fancy but perfect 😢 …00028 is more affordable but I got Taylor 717😅

[@646oleg]

nothing intermediate about D20 , except price

[@dougdavis8986]

Intermediate guitar??? So if I pay more I will be an expert? Or if I am an expert I have to pay over $2000 for a guitar?

[@AcousticShoppe]

That's not quite how it works🤣

[@dougdavis8986]

@@AcousticShoppe they are just guitars. Calling them beginner, Intermediate, etc. Is ridiculous.

[@lowellcalavera6045]

@@dougdavis8986 Yer a bitter little fella, ain't ya? It's clearly in an "intermediate" price range. Can you figure it out from there? 😺

[@nellatrab]

It's ashamed you guys don't sell Martin's...cause I like your reviews, but had to go elsewhere!

[@AcousticShoppe]

We hope one day we will! We appreciate your views & support all the same!

[@lowellcalavera6045]

I'd have had one already if it wasn't for the 1-11/16 nut. It's a shame.

I hate how people say best intermediate guitar lol... The price of the guitar has nothing to do with how good a player is

[@rxw5520]

It means intermediate price bro. Not player.

Whiiiiffffffff!!!

Buying a $2000 guitar is called 'The Jackson Pollock Syndrom'.

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Are you seriously likening stupid and meaningless slop paintings by an insane drunk...to a musical instrument?

[@jimhudson556]

I sprayed nitro for years. The environmentally harmful agents can generally be captured using a waterfall air filtration system. Nitro is a superior finish, hopefully it will continue to be used.
