The made in CA Guilds all have a 12" fretboard radius (which I like, and am used to). The import Guilds all have a 16" (flatter) fretboard radius. Why? I really don't have any idea. The same thing is true of Gibsons. The standard (made in USA) Gibsons also have a 12" radius.

I've played the M-120. It's a beautiful sounding guitar. I do wish it wasn't gloss, though. I tried the Troubador at the same time and quite liked it, but didn't find it that playable. Might have needed a set-up.

I'm grateful for this video. I'm contemplating doing the same and it is so helpful to somebody who hasn't made anything this serious with wood.

Personally I thought they all lack in tone.. if I chose one, it would be the m-240… none sound ve near as good as my Gibson j45, which I agree costs 4 x the amount of these.. I think the Guilds I have seen have way to muck finish on them, they are pretty but that finish is a tone killer.. I like the all mahogany guilds but they just don’t have good tone I think cuz of the finish.. I have seriously thought of buying one and sanding that finish off..

The fender sound like a toy, the m20 is an incredible guitar but for the price the m120 is really a must have! The m240 is an honest and goodlooking little guitar, sound really good with a setup (it comes with an high action and some daddario strings that sounds like a can, I mounted martin retro light custom on my m240 and now sounds rellay good! And lowered the action...)

Nice video. I own a m120e. I love this guitar. It came in a nice hardcase. The strings were a bit to high. I had them adjust by an expert. New its even better.

Great job, guys.

I really like Fender gig bags like yours.

The M20 is definitely the best one to listen to and for sure the best looking one.

I like the darker tone of the M-20.

Great review on all these gems. The Guild M-20 is very nice and would be my pick, however, was very surprised how good the other 3 sounded (especially the Fender Malibu) at a much more affordable price. All would be a wonderful choice for beginners or pro's giggin out.🎸🎸🎸 Thanks for this video ! Very helpful.

I have a guild M120 but it differs from yours in that though the construction and woods used (all solid mahogany) it has a plain logo head stock, a shorter scale length (24”) and came complete with the guild hard case though no built in humidifier. I picked it up brand new here in the uk from a major retailer for £499 approx 7 - 8 yrs ago. The waverly style tuners are superb, i once left it tuned up in its case for over 6 months and when I pulled it out it was still in perfect tune! This guitar is my keeper along with a epiphone zenith Archtop and a cheap little vintage parlour which sounds great for £135 and it doesn’t matter if my carers bash it about a bit as it can be readily replaced. i loved the side by side test including both strumming and finger style.

I was surprised by how good the Fender sounded. How was the action on the Fender? How about on the other guitars?

Guild makes a $69 case that has better protection for the M-240E. Not as nice as the M-120 one, but ....

The M-20 is a gem.

Love this song. I play it myself at times. You guys do a fantastic job at it.

Very impressive guys. Excellent.

I loved the music and also the timelapse. I like how you put this together. Thank you thank you.

F this is cool. I want one soooooo bad! Wife won’t let me for good reasons. No time. :(

Too fast time lapse video. Would have liked to see the build process in normal so i could build myself. Pity.

Great build man any idear on hours into the project?

Sweet!

These are fun! I know cause we built 1 in high school.

She's a beauty, looks fun to sail.

Nice job! Thanks for posting the process -- so cool to see the progress over time. Glad you ended up with a boat you're proud of, too!

Very nice!!

Great cover, guys.

i own troubadour and m120 both are good for the money. perhaps later i replace the m120 with m20. kind regards from berlin 🌻

They all sound like tin

You are a great team!!

This is GREAT!

Sounding good, Victor!

Outstanding. Love it.

I loved this song when it was new, was so excited when it would come on the radio back then. Thanks for the cover :)

Nice. Dig the guitar tone.

Nice... very nice, Victor.

Fast work almost like super fast? Nice.

Nice recording - and very nice song, too.

Songwriting better than ever.

Nice work on the build! Looks like a great boat!

Closed my eyes an listened to them all... I actually prefer the tone of the m120 over the m20, but think the M20 looks nicer. When I watch observing the guitars I like the tone of the m20... Strange.

Hate the music

yeah, the m20 = very nice.

I stopped watching afrer a minute in. Even when I used the TH-cam utility to slow it down by 50%, this time-lapse speed is simply MUCH too fast. Learning anything from the video was impossible-at least for me. What a shame; the pram design is a good one. Perhaps you'll take a different approach in your next build.

That was awsome to watch..Thankyou for sharing ...even speeded up it looks alot of work...lol..but I love a good success story..and you sailing around makes it worth it..Fair Winds friend

Very nice video Boxcar Figaro. The Guild M-20 was quite impressive, but they all sound good.

I’ve been eyeing this design for awhile. There was one at the Port Aransas wooden boat festival this year. Great video looks like it was fun to build.

i liked the guild m20 the most but all the other guitars are good

How you do that? I mean.. fiberglassing sharp corner.... i heard that it is a bad idea and it'll not going to hold up well
