A-150 Savoy Blonde : Maybe the best in its niche

4 years ago

Having tried and rejected a couple of hollow-bodies by such brands as D'Angelico and Hofner, I was finally lucky to try this Guild A-150. So far, I cannot give any valid comment on the sound (maybe later I update my review), but I know that DeArmond pickups are very welcome among jazz guitar players.

But what I can difinitely say is that the workmanship in this Guild is just great, including the fretwork, finish, and hardware. Thus, following other reviewers. I can highly recommend this guitar.

On a separate note, I consider it right that the guitar comes in a hard case. At this price level, imo, it's a must.

Finally, two things should be taken into account (not as "cons", just as "features"):

1. In genre terms, this is by definition a narrowly specialized guitar: jazz.

2. It is pretty big and relatively weighty.

And what a beauty overall!
