When I first started shopping for a quality guitar, Guild was on my short list. In fact, I played a D4HG against a 310 and for the money it was a close call. Lacked the NT neck, ebony fretboard and the airy sound of the Taylor, but it was a lot of guitar for the money, which was sunstantiallly less than the Taylor. Nice glossy mahogany finish and arched back.
Then, as another has written in this thread, I was so close to a DV-52, which I still think is one of the best values for a traditional and classic dread with rosewood/Sitka/ebony/abalone/plush HSC around.
No regrets on ultimately deciding on my 410. I am a Taylor fan for sure. But Guilds are great guitars that can be bought right.
