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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
