I have now had the Guild D150CE (Bstock) 3 months, As I wanted to give an accurate opinion of the Guitar, firstly i was weary about buying "B stock" but needn't have been , it hadn't been played, it was brand new, I asked BAX why would it be returned? ans."its likley sombody bought 2 guitars, and returned 1 of them", Maybe not even this make/model,
Upon arrival, Double boxed, I very closely inspected it, as you do, 3 very minor finishing faults, and i do say minor, BUT certainly not enough to send it back for, The poly finish is very fine, A very big plus, and a very pretty guitar, The rosewood was darker than i was expecting, but, this is an observation Not a complaint,
I played it quite a lot over the weeks, after i set the action to where I wanted it, As it was high, But you almost always have to do that anyway,
It is very nice to play with its 44.5 nut width, The strings fitted were d'addario phospher bronze, 12/53, which i use and were good, Now it has Elixir 12/53, phospher bronze, which, i also use,
Important bit, The sound. Quite loud, very balanced, and a tone thats not as bright as my Taylor, but sharp enough, and not as warm as my Epiphone EJ200 CE, But its a nice sounding guitar, all the notes across the fretboard & up the fretboard are all nicely distinctive, And, a sound of its own, I never "plug in" so, electrics not tried,
I would without hestation recommend both the guitar and BAX to anybody, who couldn't have been more helpfull and a big thanks to 'Sam' on the phone,
Hope This helps sombody, as i know, its hard to buy untried, untested, and not in your hands, but i did and glad i did,
