Guild OM-120, Orchestra Review

All I can say is WOW!!!!

I remember several years (almost 30) ago while shopping for a dread, I ran into a Guild D-4, a Guild D-40, and a Guild D-55 in a store..I was amazed at their sound and looks, and though that someday I would have Guild. Met a man later that year who played a Guild also and loved the sound. After several years of loving Martins, I have acquired several dreads including a D-18. … read more Totally different animals than this OM. I was looking for a smaller body all Mahogany with a 1 3/4 nut. Guild had it and Guild had the sound I wanted. The build is fantastic and light along with finish being perfect. It is great flat picked or finger-picked! Simply amazing sound and feel. Oh, did I mention it is beautiful, especially with that head-stock!!! It has a very warm and sweet sound that is great when sitting on the couch or in the church Sanctuary. The voice is a 5 out of 5 along with the intonation right out of the box. I will remind you that this is NOT a dread, but they have it in a dread body also. I would recommend swapping out the stock plastic bridge pins with a set of Ebony. Ebony pins always seem to bring out the best in Mahogany. The staff was wonderful and patient with as I tried several guitars and had them bring some from the warehouse. Great guitar and a great price for an all solid wood Guitar. I tried the Martin Mahogany offerings in this class also and in my opinion, this Guild tops their 15 series. Guild is not trying to copy Martin and it is a very different guitar than the Martins.

Guild OM 120

Very nice guitar. Better than I expected. It was set up very good. Ready to play out of the box. It did need new strings, nothing new there. Looks and sounds very well made. It has a nice balanced response. It's strong in the mid-range and great for finger picking but also does well playing chords. It's a great multi-purpose instrument. You will not have to worry about it being… read more shipped. It was packed to arrive in perfect condition. Sweetwater is great to do business with. Best customer service you could ask for. My guy Greg Lanning keeps me informed with anything I purchase and always ready to help. A nice personal touch added to the buying experience. If you're looking for an all-solid wood mahogany guitar Guild hit a home run with this one.

I am so delighted with my new guitar! The concert size is perfect for me and the warm tones are a pleasure to hear. I love the beautiful seamless mahogany construction and the attention to every detail by your company. I could not be happier with everything - right down to the design of the padded case with carrying straps! I LOVE IT!!

Happy with my new guitar!!

The Guild OM-120 is absolutely beautiful, a high-quality product for a really good price. I acquired it a week ago and I am surprised by how wonderful it sounds and how comfortable is to play with my new guitar. Even the Gig Bag is beautiful. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Simply beautiful

Just received this today. An Anniversary present from my beautiful wife. Love it! Plays great right out of the box. Very well made. Fit and finish are good. Tone is bright but full. I have a Martin, Taylor, Alvarez, Breedlove and a Washburn. But this is my first Guild and I have to say I'm quite impressed. Thanks to Tom Koch and the folks at Sweetwater for all their help.
