I really love just about everything about my Guild D-4, from neck to natural matte finish to well-balanced tone. It was the instrument I settled on after playing and "test-driving" a wide variety of acoustics, from Martin to Seagull to Harmony to Gibson, Takamine, Larrivee and a host of custom lines. Mine was built in the Rhode Island shop in about '96, so I have no complaints about post-merger quality.

I love to play it and it loves to be played; what more could one ask in a relationship such as this?
