  • Hello mate I bought this guitar about 2 months ago after much research of many guitars. I am very happy with it. My usual guitar is Yamaha fg750s which has an awesome mellow sound. I've messed up by putting super slinky strings ( 10's ) on the guild. Waay too tinny for this guitar do you agree? What strings to recommend ? Thanks. Lee

  • @boomboxbadboy1 "I" like .011 to .052 on my acoustics. D'Addario is my string manufacturer of preference.

  • It's DADF#AD Tuning............my custom intro to "Big Yellow Taxi" (Joni Mitchell)

  • I love my GAD 50. Now you've got me thinking about putting on some of those Elixirs---surprising the sound difference there! Thanks for the good video.

  • Try the Elixir Polywebs first.......try to keep your low E string at Ø.053 - .054 for best sound.

  • Now.. Is this a gad 50e? or a just a gad 50? Currently i'm paying a downpayment on a Gad 50E Antique sunburst

  • Nope.....not a GAD-50E......just a GAD-50

see all

  • Terrific video and one that inspired me to buy the GAD 50 in this finish. It is one terrific guitar and one I am proud to own. The solid rosewood is terrific, but solid mahogany - as you have seen on the GAD 25 is great too. Have you tried out the jumbo GAD Guilds? If not, I recommend the GAD JF48, which has been discontinued by Guild, but can be found on line. It has great projection and sustain and is wonderfully built and has a great finish. Grab one if you can find it out there.

  • this is the guitar that Bruno Mars has in the "Grenade" studio session! :D *_*

  • Hey Nutmegger1957. Your reviews are great. I'm considering either the GAD 50 or GAD 25 as my first guitar. Do you have a preference of one over the other? Or can you do a video comparing the GAD-50 to the GAD-25?  ;) Thanks!

  • Wich do like better? The 50 or 25?

  • I am intrigued by Guild GAD series....

  • Thanks. Good review. Very helpful.

  • Which do you think is better overall. The Guild GAD - 25 or the Guild GAD - 50

  • Yep, a luthier buddy of mine told me thats the best, easiest, setup improvement you can make to ANY guitar....throw a set of Elixers on 'em.

    If you do, odds are you won't go back. I like the Nanoweb 80/20 bronze in .12 thru .53 myself.
