i got a guild d125 last week, i believe its the new version of the GAD25.
its one of the best guitars ive played! i used to have a martin 00015 and this is easily as good as that, despite costing several hundred pounds less! the build quality is faultless, and the sound is just superb. the neck is a satin finish on mine and it feels so nice. the setup was spot on out the box for me too.
ive got to say chinese built guilds are extremely good guitars for the money.
if your not keen on the gloss finish on the neck, you could have a go with some very fine wire wool if your feeling brave! ive got an old early 80s tokai tele that had a gloss neck, but it was too sticky feeling for me, so i got lots of different grades of wire wool and spent an afternoon going down the grades til i got a very smooth but satin finish.
