I own a Guild 12, mid 60's vintage. I wouldn't own any other. Every time I am in Elderly, I try the Martins, Taylors, Seagulls, etc. I take them down to the practice rooms and play them. There are some nice axes, but they just don't compare to the Guild. If I were you, I would check Elderly's catalogue for a used one. These things age wonderfully. You can pick one up for about $1200.00 US.
