Not a Guild, sorry, I know you can never have too many. But after purchasing my Godin Seagull 12 string (which I am just loving the heck out of..) I started looking deeper into Godin Guitars. Heard of them through the jazz guitar forum where they are well respected for their jazz boxes at a reasonable price. What I am finding is several lines of Godin Guitars (acoustic, electric, hybrids, whatever) that are really innovative. Also, reading reviews and comments on line from owners and players, seems like they are well loved.
So I settled on a Godin "A" series guitar, the A6 Ultra, special addition Koa. Just got in Monday, just started playing it today. Pretty amazing that they can put out a guitar of this quality (workmanship and materials) at this price point. I am blown away.
Here is a link to the specs:

Here are some pictures:
I am just starting to play with it. Didn't really get a chance to demo it very well before taking delivery, so I kept my options open whether to keep it or not. So far, I am very impressed with the sound I can get from it, either straight acoustic, humbucker, or a blend. You have the option to run it through two different amps, to separate the acoustic from the electric. Haven't tried it yet, will let you know.
This guitar is brand new, full warranty, sold through a local dealer:

Gary, the owner, has been doing this for about two years. He buys guitars in quantity from Godin. Some are brand new (as this one is), full warranty, some are "blems" with a full warranty, and some are repairs. )My Seagull 12 string is a repair, no warranty, but it's a great sounding and playing guitar; and at the price I paid, no worries.) Most of hisbusiness is online and last year he sold over 300 guitars. He's a nice guy and stands behind what he sells.
Thanks to Chris Cozad for guiding me through the Godin selection. He is quite a fan and helped a lot.
Now I realize this is not a Guild. But right now, I'm not able to drop $3-4k on a NH guitar. Someday, but not right now.
These Godin guitars fit the bill and as one owner said to me, are "perfect guitars for the working man musician."
