Just picked up a Guild Model # GAD-50ATB and wondered what the "ATB" stands for. Anyone know?
According to Musiciansfriend.com the back-n-sides are supposed to be "Solid Indian Rosewood." is that true if this is an "ATB?"
I had gone to a guitar shop today that is fifty miles from my home, just because they carried Blueridge guitars, and I wanted to try them out.
I can tell you that I didn't find a single Blueridge that I cared for, and I tried at LEAST 6 different models.
They had a Gibson made in Canada that was priced at $979.00 and you might think that was a great price for a Gibson, but the sound wasn't all there.
I tried a bunch of different guitars and was getting ready to leave the place, (I had brought my AJ500ME/VS to trade in), and I decided that I liked my Guild GAD-25 so much, I'd look at the Guilds he had hanging there.
This Guild GAD-50 had FANTASTIC projection; was set up perfectly, and played like a dream. He had a sticker on it of 988.00 and gave me $500.00 for my AJ500.
The Guild was so much better than anything I picked up today. Thanks again, Guild folks!!
