Great tone for a small guitar. Neck is easy to play. Little to no set up on the action. Fit and finish is great
Surprising Value!

I'll keep it short - stays in-tune, intonation spot on, beautiful voicing/harmonics/sustain, decent bass (I'm using 13-53), great action, comfortable neck, high ratio tuners, could be wider at the bridge, and that's it.
Great sound and quality for the price

I just purchased this slotted 12 fret recently and I'm very pleased with quality, sound and the price for this amazing guitar. I've already owned and traded 2 other Guilds and each one had its own unique tone. But I really like the sound, size and comfort of a 12 fret when playing the old fingerstyle blues. This will be my go to campfire travel guitar.
A great little parlor guitar

Just took delivery on a Guild P-240. I have plated a Guild D-35 for fifty years. A quitter, lighter experience but equally beautiful.
Love this guitar

A comfortable guitar... not as bulky as a dreadnaught. Just right for fingerpickers. Awesome sound for a smaller sized guitar. Perfect for the "folk baroque" sound like John Renbourn. I intended to buy a cheap parlor guitar but then I saw this one, bought it and knew it was a keeper. Only con, as is the case with all out of the box guitars, it needs to be set up properly for comfortable playing. Have Guitar Center do it for you or other experienced repair person. This guitar has rekindled my interest in playing and composing music. If you are looking for a smaller acoustic steel string guitar, this might be the one for you.
Fun guitar!

This guitar is light, comfortable, and so easy to play. I have short stubby fingers and I'm missing two fingers on my fretting hand. The combination of the short scale and 1.75 inch nut width is perfect for me. Additionally, for a small parlor guitar, the guitar is capable volume, along with bold, rich tone. Played quietly, the tone is angelic.
