Cool review. Thanks for sharing.
I thought I commented on this one already, but thanks for sharing. This is a pretty decent review. The description of the sound is as I would describe mine, I feel like they are describing the same guitar and spent some time with it and I like how they mentioned it's lack of popularity compared to the D-40 which as mentioned is probably not really justified either other than Guild's focus on marketing. Don't get me wrong, I love the D-40 and when I pick up #3 it may even be a D-40, but (as someone partial to maple to begin with) I think I would have to pick the G-37 over the D-40, it's just mahogany and rosewood are more popular and probably an easier sale. And a lot of that is probably some of the bad maple guitars from several other brands over the years and people who haven't played maple Guilds to be honest. Many people are like "maple is my least favorite tone wood, maple guitars always sound so awful" and then they hear my Guilds and are like "yeah I was wrong on that".
As the proud and original owner of one of the first G37s built, my '72, serial 72805, I concur with every word of that review. Like the players who tried out that example in their office, I have never had anyone who played mine say anything not stellar about it. I have had other guitars, and even a Martin or two, played a 1949 Martin D28, and other Guild, including a DV-52, a DV-62 and my current D4 and GAD25, and I wouldn't trade the G37 for any of them.
