Here's a video I put together comparing the Guild M-20, M-120, M-240E Troubadour and Fender Malibu Classic. Specs are in the video notes. All recorded in the room with a Zoom H4N with no processing. I was surprised by the subtle differences in the bracing, like the M-20 has a top plate brace and the M-120 doesn't.

Nice! I'm not fan of the aesthetics of the Fender, but it sounded fine!

Great comparo. That size guitar isn't my thing, but you put out a lot of useful sonic info!

The M20 sounds great. Nice and warm and fuller sounding vs the other 3. This is a well produced video.

Surprising difference between the M120 and the M20. I actually liked the M120 better, followed by the M240. The others were a little too dark for me.

Ah well that would explain it, as my main Guild is all hog too, so my ears instantly went to it lol
