Looking to buy my first Guild guitar

[Rayk]

Hi All, this website has a great reputation for giving “sound” advice. It is my New Years resolution to buy my first Guild guitar. I have tried a couple (both made in USA) and fallen deeply in love with the sound and the playability of them.
I am based in the UK and reckon my standard of playing as “basic campfire strummer” and my means are limited, and therefore trying to pick one up as cheaply as possible, a few dings and scratches would not worry me.
So basically what I am asking you guys and gals is what to look out for. Also I gather from reading other posts that the US built ones have a higher regard, but having never played a Chinese one, how much is the difference?

If your playing outside a lot you may benefit from Import line as they have polyurethane finishs which holds up better outside then Nitro but many factors come into play , for me leaning the thing up against a rock at night refreshing my beer or just forgetting I left outside because I had to many beers . Lol

I bought a OM120 which is the all solid wood African mahogany guitar . It was pretty nice sounding . I have a demo I believe in member music.
I let that one go as I rotate buying guitars to try out . The 2020 line has been updated and said to have new bracing based of the US models .I'm not exactly sure what all the updates are besides that but I'm sure the tone is going to get better which is why I'm going to get another OM120 for the camping/camp fire all arounder . I prefer orchestra models . Lol
You can't really go wrong either way if you like what you hear .
