Hi all and George,
Just happened to play a Guild DV52 today and was really surprised at
how good I thought it sounded. I have been playing (mostly
fingerpickin') small bodied guitars (Taylor 712, Martin 000-1, couple
of classicals) and frankly I was just about blown away. I don't mean
that it was just loud, but really rich, if that would be a good word.
So, is that just a property of dreadnaughts in general? The sucker felt
really big on my lap but it sure did sound nice. The strange thing is
I have never considered Guilds at all, always heard they were just
overbraced tanks, but right now I can't think about anything else!
Help me please. Any comments from you experienced folks would be
appreciated... help me.... help me.....

I played one of those for quite some time. Bought it "new,old stock" from Mando Bros. Very warm - sort of like Guild was trying to build a D-35. Great rhythm guitar. It had a lot of damage from being stored in a non-humidified space, but because I was the first owner, Westerly basically rebuilt the guitar for me - no charge. Traded it and another guitar for a braz Larrivee D-09 and was later sorry I had done so. Enjoy yours!
