Oh Wow!!
I'll start the review a little differently. I'm a 58 year old guitarist and I've played a lot of guitars in my life. So why was I so excited once I finally ordered this OM140CE in antique sunburst? I don't know, but I was!! Like a kid at Christmas I couldn't wait for it to arrive.
When it did, I wanted to tear into the box and start playing. But I didn't. I forced myself to wait until it had been here in my house and acclimated to its new surroundings.
It was so worth the wait.
I opened the very nice Guild padded gig bag/soft case and it was even better than I expected. It's beautiful. The fit and finish are spot on great. The action is amazing. And the sound! I love it.
If you are on the fence trying to decide on buying one yourself, do it!! Have I played better acoustic guitars? Indeed I have. But when you consider the $ price, this is a better buy. I would have thought in order to get a guitar this nice I would have paid twice as much.
I love this guitar!!
Love everything about it!
I had the pleasure of going in store to look at all the beautiful acoustics in their store. For the price this guild guitar stood up to the beautiful sounded and tones of guitars 3X it's price. I am a fan of the quality and affordability of these guitars! I love it!
BEAUTIFUL
This is everything I hoped it would be. Beautiful, light, great set-up, sweet tone, perfect size, nice rolled edges on the fretboard... It's hard to believe at the price.
Fun guitar!
I recently purchased this guitar. I was looking for something that was lightweight, big full sound, and visibly beautiful.I am not disappointed! This guitar is beautiful, light, and sounds amazing both unplugged and plugged in.
Superb Guitar!!!
Amazing guitar at any price! Bright clean tone and surprising projection. Every note rings true. Exceptionally easy to play and love the fast neck. Easy to work the fretboard all the way down as well. Especially impressed with the materials and attention to detail in the finish. I own other guitars up to three times as expensive but this Guild gives them all a run for the money!
Guild Acoustic Electric OM-140CE
I recently purchased this guitar and it is rapidly becoming my favorite one in my collection. Playability, sound, look, - it has it all and I would recommend it to anyone. This is my first orchestra style guitar and I'm finding it to be extremely comfortable to sit and play. I think the real story here, though, is Sweetwater's top of the line customer service. I had a bit of an issue with the guitar and, within a short time, had to return it for replacement. Sweetwater facilitated the exchange so completely that it felt like I blinked and it was done. The most difficult part was waiting the recommended 24 hours before opening the new one. In a world of automation and self service, Sweetwater still has a hands-on approach that works and ensures returning customers. Other than that, I would just say that if you're looking to purchase anything musical, buy it from Sweetwater because they still provide service after the sale.
Great Guild
I have no experience will all solid-wood guitars before this one, but I love it so far. I can't give any comparison to other brands like Taylor or Martin, but it has a perfect feel and sound to me!
Mike Defraties from Sweetwater was a great help if you're looking for an all solid wood guitar at a great price this guitar should be perfect for you as well.
LOVELY Playability; PUNCHY sound; GREAT Value
I love this guitar. Yes, it is a five-star review, based on its value for the dollar.
I invested a lot of time to try a lot of things before committing to on OM-140CE (Antique burst finish). As a lot of you know, there's magic when you find something that feels *just right. True, "feel" is how it fits and sits with your body. It's also the feel that the sound gives. For me, the neck shape and the body profile make this VERY playable, with a comfortable and predictable action.
The sound has punch. It's well-balanced (not too bassy, not too trebly), both acoustically and when paired with an amplifier. The simple tone and volume controls give you *just enough*, not distracting from the resonance of the instrument itself.
Fit and finish are lovely, and exactly what you would expect from a Guild at this price.
As an overall package, this guitar provides immense value. Like any instrument, it calls to certain players, and it is quiet to others. This shouted to me. I haven't been able to put it down.
And as an extra special bonus (wait, there's more!), the gig bag is fabulous. Not a hardshell, but not the squishy gig bag we have all used before, its a form-fitting, lightweight, and practical case!
Great Guitar Overall
This guitar sounds fantastic. I would put it up against any Martin or Taylor in that aspect. The feel/playability is average - fret size is nice and neck profile is ok. The guitar is lighter than expected which is a plus. The only complaints I have about mine is that the truss rod is maxed out at about .015" relief and I would prefer to have a little less. The other thing is that one of the peg holes in the bridge is drilled just a little too big, so the peg sits down farther than the others and I have to push it from the inside of the guitar to get it out. So quality control could be a little better. But for the price this guitar cannot be beat and I would buy it again.
