Members Bernie P. Posted May 4, 2007 Members Posted May 4, 2007 Anybody know a reputable dealer that has one in stock with a decent return policy? I was hoping to try one before the trial period on the Epi I bought runs out but cant find one anywhere.
Members jeffcoop Posted May 4, 2007 Members Posted May 4, 2007 I know that Reno's Music in West Carmel, Indiana, has one--I played it yesterday. Reno's does business online as Guitar Hotline; as of now, though, their website only shows Fender products. You might give them a call--there's a toll-free number on the website (though I think it's for the Fishers store, and the one I played was at the West Carmel store).
Members guitarist21 Posted May 4, 2007 Members Posted May 4, 2007 Does Musician's Friend not have them? Ellen

Members jeffcoop Posted May 4, 2007 Members Posted May 4, 2007 Natural is due in 47 days, according to that link.
Members Hudman Posted May 4, 2007 Members Posted May 4, 2007 try this:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Guild-GAD30-Auditorium-Acoustic-Guitar?sku=513141 It looks like they have them in stock. I would call Instrument Pro and see if they have them in stock. It can save you apprx. $35.00. Instrument Pro has a 5% discount code availble. You can use the following discount code: AFF01 during checkout.

I'm not trying to be difficult, but does Instrument Pro carry Guild? There are no Guild products on their website. Of course, the same could be said of Reno's, which I mentioned above--and I know they do have them, because I played one yesterday.
Members Hudman Posted May 5, 2007 Members Posted May 5, 2007 If you click on "Availability," MF shows the natural finish as out of stock, with more expected in 47 days. The other two finishes are in stock. I'm not trying to be difficult, but does Instrument Pro carry Guild? There are no Guild products on their website. Of course, the same could be said of Reno's, which I mentioned above--and I know they do have them, because I played one yesterday. I bought my Guild GAD 30R from Instrument Pro a few weeks ago. It looks like they stopped carrying Guild.
Members Bernie P. Posted May 5, 2007 Author Members Posted May 5, 2007 Hud, I left my name/number with Ins Pro but haven't heard back yet.They seem to have the best price if they're still available.Jeff, what was the price at the place you were in? How was the setup,sound,etc on the one you tried?
Members SgMaster Posted May 6, 2007 Members Posted May 6, 2007 I almost got one a couple months ago at Manny's in NYC, they wanted $700 I think, before tax and or shipping

How was the setup,sound,etc on the one you tried? Bernie, they were asking $599 (they're running a Guild sale in the store right now). Setup was very nice--I've read about some GAD30s feeling stiff, but this one didn't. It was good enough that I was seriously tempted. By comparison, the previous GAD30 I played, at another store, didn't tempt me at all. If you can stand a burst finish, The Music Zoo on Long Island is having a spring blowout sale this week, and they have one at a VERY good price (I don't think I'm supposed to mention what it is, but you can email them at sales@themusiczoo.com for their sale pricelist).

I paid $667 for my GAD 30R a few weeks ago. Mine plays and sounds great. I actually chose the antique burst over natural.
Members Siwash Posted May 6, 2007 Members Posted May 6, 2007 Interesting; I picked the antique burst over the natural, too, for my GAD 50. thought the natural was too white.
