D-240E Westerly Archback : The quality of the guitar is amazing for the money

After some extensive research on acoustic guitars in this price range I decided to buy the Guild D240E Westerly Archback. I play for some time now and needed a guitar that can be used in small to medium rooms and would have good sound quality, which I expected from this guitar. At first glance it has a nice, warm tone, warmer than one would expect from a spruce top guitar, probably provided by the archback design.

For:

The build quality, overall look, balanced clear sound and a premium Guild gigbag included make this guitar a very competetive product for the money.

Against:

The one thing against it is when you plug it in, compared to similar models of other manufacturers the sound output is lower, on the other hand the sound stays clear and warm without the common interferences one would expect with higher volume settings.

Personally I am very happy with what I got as the guitar exceeded my expectations.
