NGD , but not a Guild!

[Stratboy]

Been looking for a nice F30 to go with my D25 and F50, but very scarce here in the UK, anyway I played a brand new Martin M36 and was blown away, sweet sounding and great projection, but held off waiting for a Guild. After six weeks of unabashed lust, couldn't hold out any longer, so back to the shop and pulled the trigger! What a fabulous guitar, always buy pre owned but couldn't resist this one, love to hear it in 20 years time!

Those look nice with the 3 piece back- don't see many of them out there. I've also been looking for an F-30 to go with my F-20 and D-40, want a Hoboken short scale, and in the meantime recently picked up a Martin 000-RSG with a short scale, and a Martin OM1-GT, which is long scale and has 1 3/4 like the M-36, but without the high performance taper. Anyway, the F-30 isn't easy to find here either, especially the Hoboken ones- I'm giving up for now, takes too much time to constantly check all the sites, etc. Enjoy the M-36!

Prices for used Guilds are getting ridiculous here, there was a Corona F30 on eBay for £2500 (3250 usd!) The M36 was the first I'd seen, very impressed so far, could be a keeper!
