I've been trying to find a Guild M-20 to play and just can't find one. I have played a bunch of 000-15M's and have owed 3 D-15M's, and they are fabulous guitars for the price. There is a debate weather Nick Drake played a M-20 or if he just held it for the cover of Bryter Layter. But if he did, that may be a good example of the Guild if it fact played on that album.

I responded to you on AGF, so I won't repeat that stuff here, but I thought I would add a recording of me singing with my 00-15m.

Haven’t played the guild, but I own a 1998 00-15 . Didn’t have the M designation because they weren’t using Sapele back in those days. This guitar has aged nicely. Today it’s louder with a lot more sustain, than it originally had. One of my favorite guitars. It’s my road trip guitar. Fits nicely in the back seat.

Yeah my D-15M is my go anywhere, I  don't care if it gets a ding on it guitar. It was a 2017 that I got for $750 used, right after we kicked into 2020 before all the craziness started.

Sal, that was awesome. What guitar are you using for the slide?

This is a superb arrangement, by the way.

I've had a D-15M since 2011 and like it. But the sound couldn't be more different from a Gibson. Not a bad thing, just different.
