I have this instrument but in the 12 string, it's a very full, mellow sounding, guitar. I purchased it on a whim & was really surprised when I realized a couple weeks after it's a product of China. Reading all the propaganda & watching the sales videos on these one would assume they where still made in the states. I feel they'd be more accepted if they just made it perfectly clear it's a Chinese made product instead of trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Having known this beforehand I'm not sure I'd have purchased it so it makes sense why they don't talk much about where it's made. For the money, which should be the giveaway, it's a very good deal though. It don't compare to the older Guild's from years ago but pretty close if you get a good one, like any guitar i guess. Just make it perfectly clear it's an import!

Ive played Taylors, Martins, ect. I knew from the first strum that my guild was better than anything I'd played. OM 240 CE I have roughly 500 hours on it.... Absolute perfection. Zero complaints thus far. Comfort, clarity, appearances. Love everything. Very loud as well so loud that I named her Gabby hahaha

Can I just say how brilliant the restraint you show on these reviews is? So many reviews they showcase guitars differently each time and just the fact you play the same diverse mix of examples on the different guitars makes it so much easier to really compare them. Cheers.

I own a Guild M-120. This guitar just sounds correct in every way. This is how a guitar should sound to my ears. I also play all-mahogany guitars. Anything else is just simply not Cricket odd chap!

I purchased this guitar, several weeks ago, after doing a good amount of homework versus other comparable models. All I can say is YES! The tone and balance you expect with an all ‘hog body are spot on and the price is excellent with a gig bag. Please take advantage of this wonderful guitar, I can’t wait for it to open up with further playing over time!

Bought this guitar largely based on this review, though loving the Guilds I've played helped. Had trouble finding this beauty in stores has been difficult, so the review helped me not only discover the guitar, but feel confident enough to order it without playing it first. Appreciate it :-)

I've had this guitar for many years and love it! I'm more of a mid-range price point guitar player. Could never find the reason to spend a ton of money on a guitar even though I've played for almost 30 years. I also recently bought an Orangewood Sage and love that too! The only issue I had with the Guild OM-120 is I'm not sure the saddle is bone. It started wearing at the B and high E and when I replaced it, there was no resonance compared to the replacement bone saddle.

I agree. I found one in Italy by surprise. When I came back I bought another one for my Celtic Music. It is an awesome guitar with
the correct timbre (mid range the way I hear it). One of the best musical values one could ever hope to find.

Your analysis is right on the mark!

I have a D-150, and it sounds also verry good, ( intonation in tune all over, and that is rare )just a good brand Guild this guitar for this money...greating from Holland.

[Alexanderstarreveldo]

after growing disillusioned with big corp brands like martin ect i'm gonna pick up myself one of these.... and i reckon i'ma be super happy with it.

This guitar was made to play Mississippi John Hurt's music... 😍😍😍

I bought a Guild D-44M in sides and back (now golden in color), mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, etc., etc., etc.  While I have owned/played lots of guitars, none has matched my Guild in tonal quality and crispness.  It's a shame Guild has outsourced its production.

You guys must be getting good OM-120. I've been having issues with mine and about to sell it. 1. It was shipped straight from Guilds warehouse. 2. The neck relief was so bad and the truss rod was super tight 3. I took it to a certified Martin luthier to have it adjusted, cost me over $100 to adjust, fix the very bad fret work, and lowered the action. 4. When I received the guitar the humidity of it was at 32%, not good. I contacted Guild about all the issues and to give it a month to see if it would get better. It didnt, I sent it back to have guild look at it, a month later the guitar showed up with no communication about anything. It's my fault I should've sent it back with the 1st month and bought a different brand. Never will I buy a Guild guitar again, they dont check the Chinese made guitar before they mail them out. It's my fault for trusting a once great company. Never again.

The Amazon description states the M20 was produced in ‘67. I have a 1961 M20 w/ gold script logo.

Thanks! I just like your approach to the viewer, adding your personal thoughts where you feel right about it. when it comes to the playing it's great to have a spread of differing forms and so useful to have the same spread on the various instruments chosen. Appreciated!

My pap has a Martin that he plays and he lets me play his guild, it’s around 40 years old, and I love that guitar to death, it sounds good and it feels good, he always says that it’s going in his will that I’m getting it haha, he’s a good man, look up JohnstownGeorge if your into older country
