Wanted to check with people who have had one of these for a while. Mine's got a plastic nut (which should probably get replaced) and D'Addario phosphor bronze strings on it. The sound is probably 90% where I want it: balanced, crisp, decent but not muddy bass. But, it does sound a bit tinny.
I'd like to back off on the tin a little bit without turning into a different sound entirely. Thoughts?
Note: Most of my other Guild acoustics (D-25 12, F-50R, D-25 6) are tuned to D minor with Martin SP 80/20s, which sound rich and dark and wonderful once broken in. I don't really want to go that route with this one, as the point to this one for me is the more balanced airy sound. Also, I tend to probably play harder than most people, which might be a factor too. I had the guitar set up when I bought it, so I don't think the setup is the problem. It doesn't seem buzzy or anything.
