I am currently playing a GAD F40 Valencia on stage. Three years of regular use and not one problem. Maple back and sides are much thinner, lighter; after two years I began to notice the depth of the guitar improving, mid & treble all Guild. I originally had a 1973 F 50 & F112 sunburst pair for performance. I am going to add the GAD F212e this month and get back to a Guild pair rather than the Ovation Custom Legends now retired after 20+ years of service.

2:34 Could you tell me what song you are playing from here?

You are such a great demonstrator.

@DanskeSange Thanks for listening, it is the first part of Leo Kottke's song " Ojo " , I play the whole song in another video, on the same guitar.

you can find tab and music for this song at stropesdotcom

I have this in the regular spruce top look. But, I definitely like the antique sunburst better. The sound of this Guild 212 is second to none! I originally purchased a Yamaha 720, but returned it three days later and paid the extra to buy this one. NO REGRETS paying $900 Cdn. for all solid wood and a Fishmann pick-up with a tweed hard case.

Unless you have deep pockets to buy a Martin, Taylor or Gibson and even then, I would put this guitar up against those more expensive ones.

@therealsparkman right on man!!!! I know purist's will snub their nose at this guitar because it is made in china....but Fender when they bought out Guild, got all the original plans and specs, I think this guitar has the old sound, except it is new....so no hassles with warping top etc. etc. I know we can build instruments like this here, we need to some how make them affordable.

Thanks for a good review!

Hello - would the jumbo shaped GAD F212 make the same sound as this dreadnaught shaped one you play? The demos I've heard all sound much tighter like the Yamaha I own (which I am selling!) thanks.

Kottke, he's a legend!

great great great demo!!!

Sounds pretty well balanced, considering, but I've played a couple of those Chinese "Guilds". Yes, they're less expensive, but they're a bit thin, lacking sometimes.

Good players make 'em sound awesome anyway. :)
