Guild om-150ce or not?

Hello.

I currently have a Tanglewood TW4. It is fine, not causing me any issues but I have an opportunity to upgrade.

My ideal would be the Guild OM-150 ce but, for the life of me, I cannot locate one near to my home town.

However, there is a Faith FVHG for sale. This is the High Gloss Venus. 

Or (Possibly) a Guild GAD F130 2016 model.

I would welcome any comments.

I really like the aesthetics of the Faith but would the "already worn in" Guild be better to play?

    Don't know what the nut width is on your TW4, but I tried a nice Faith in GG recently & found the nut too narrow for me. 
    If the TW4 is 44mm & you're happy with that then you may be fine. As everyone here will tell you, try before you buy if possible.

    depending on your nut width and neck profile preferences,  what about the Faith "moon"  mango wood series ?  I know a couple of guys on here have one and really rate them.

  • Personal choice obviously but if it was me I’ll take a closer look at Guilds.
    Good luck with the search.

  • The guilds I have played were very comfortable neck carve easier for me to get on with than the faith that I had.

    Nut width of my current Tanglewood is 43mm, same as the Faith.
    The Guild is slighter wider at 44.5mm.

    well if you're anything like me,   1.5mm is a lot  -  I have mainly 43s  and one 44 and a nadge - and you can really notice it , obviously profile makes a big difference, but personally I wouldn't want anything bigger than 44

      please try before you buy in this instance
