First post. I have been lurking around here for a while and I really like this forum. I have really enjoyed learning about Guild acoustic guitars and the people that frequent this forum seem to be nice and civil to each other unlike a lot of the other forums. My background: I started playing about 20 or so years ago then put it down, sold my "nice" guitars. Got back into playing about 1 year ago. I am just a hack and very below average. But I am a pianist and trombone player and I do appreciate good tone. I like to strum a few chords and sing a bit, amusing myself and irritating my wife! I have a very nice 2021 D18 and as of today a 2019 D40 Traditional! The D18 set a very high bar, but this D40 is most excellent and right there with it in tone, fit, and finish, etc. I just love love the sound of a good mahogany dreadnaught and this D40 is it! It sounds good with fingers and flatpick. It is a gorgeous burst that pictures don't do justice. I actually prefer the neck profile of the Guild over the Martin I think, that is my early impression anyway. The bass seems stronger than the D18 also.
I will go back to lurking now.
