Guild OM-140CE Nat Westerly

For quite a while I wanted to have a Guild guitar, but, for one reason or other, other things got prioritised… you know how it goes in life. Now finally I got the chance and decided for this one. Firstly all wood and secondly including a gig bag. Am I satisfied? I am over the moon! I have been playing for many years, in fact since I was a child and now, well, I'm much older… :-(
The workmanship is excellent and the setup is perfect (but that's always a personal thing). The playability is a joy and the sound is, even for a brand new guitar, fabulous… and will only get better! I have not tested the pickup yet, but I know these from before and am not worried. Optically it's extremely well designed and beautiful with perfectly matched wood.
The only drawback is possibly the gigbag which is quite nice but still just a gigbag. For serious transportation or even flying its really not suitable. Maybe the guitar should be made available also without the bag or a hardcase possibly - therefore one star less for features. However, and as usual, Thonmann's service and postage is excellent! Thank you.

I was previously happy with this but not anymore after taking it for a professional setup.
The luthier has informed me the neck is badly warped and this may be why Guild have fitted a very high bridge in the factory.
Also, the truss rod inside the neck is so short he can't reach the end of it to make any adjustments so the neck is arrow straight and can't be altered.
These issues have obviously severely limited the amount which the action can be lowered and then fine tuned.
Very disappointed. Have contacted Thomann to see how they may be able to assist as I want rid of this guitar.

My advice, steer clear. Obviously very cheaply made and corners severely cut on production.
