Take it beyond Guild. Does anyone else making guitars in America make a maple A/E cutaway dread at the price point?
The last Fender acoustic that impressed me was an early 70's Newport model I owned. The tone was wonderful, but the playability was too bad to fix effectively and I traded it off. I never really thought to see whether it was American made. Later on, I tried some higher end acoustic Fender came out with, Asian made, but definitely better than previous models. I discovered Taylors soon after and my perspectives changed too.
