Guild D-140 compared to Taylor 110e
Hello, I'm not trying to pit one guitar against the other; I just want to know if any of you have played both, and if so, what do you think of them? I was able to try the Taylor and I loved its tone, particularly its clear, powerful bass, which balanced out the Taylor brightness some people dislike. I've read that the Guild also has a sinewy bass. Unlike the Taylor, it lacks electronics, but I always play unplugged. Also, the Guild is all-solid wood and $50 cheaper.

The Guild is simply a whole lot more guitar for less money. I checked them out before I bought and it seemed like a no brainer to me.

That a beautiful photo of a beautiful guitar. Thanks for posting it.
On paper, the only thing leaning me towards the Taylor is its nut width of 1.69", as opposed to the Guild's 1.75." A pit bull bit off the tip of my fretting hand's index finger, so I prefer narrow necks. I'll probably order the Guild D-140 from Guitar Center. If it doesn't work for me I'll return it. Quote:

Thanks for your responses. I've just ordered the Guild D-140 from a store with an excellent return policy. I'll try posting a NGD photo when it arrives.

Well done, Leo! The D-140 is a fantastic guitar at an incredible price. Soundwise it might be on the bright side, but in a wonderful way. And it’s extremely responsive. I love it.
