Just brought home my new guitar, well, my used mint condition GAD-50 Antique Sunburst. Quite a beauty. But the tone... is absolutely wonderful. The first Guild I played was a D-55 about 4 years ago, I was actually stunned with the tone, never heard anything like it, chords were richer, warmer than anything I'd ever heard. Tone, chords from this GAD-50 are "extremely similar if not equal", truly incredible value. The bass is extreme, gets your attention immediately, very unique. I agree that tone is personal, subjective, not sure what that means, but also, it depends upon one's playing style. Most of what I do is sing mellow, folk stuff. I love this guitar, but, caution, it's very different from any other brand of guitar, as is the D-55. Great GAD-50, positive reviews on youtube are accurate, not exaggerated.
