I like the sound. And the ease.
I admit that with the Guild, it has suffered in its life before me.
I intend to string it as light as I can and never tune it above Eb.
My Takamine is the Nokia Phone of guitars.
It’s got 11-50’s tuned to D at present.
It sounds marvelous.

I've found I try to tune to D for a different, and perhaps stupid, reason: when I play lead I tend to get confused as the fingerboard dots don't seem to jive with what I'm playing. I generally play only in first and second positions. I'm fine with playing chords and some chord-based fills at Eb, however.
