A great budget flat top! The Guild Madiera A30 was a flagship, budget acoustic suitable for any beginner with any playing style. A full dreadnaught size, these guitars have power and actually have a great sound for the price point. All laminate construction, its a hefty instrument that will certainly continue to perform. This one likely from the mid 70's has some aesthetic wear, but all in all plays well. The adjustable bridge has been lowered a bit, with the action measuring about 7/64" in height at the twelfth fret - a little high, but perfectly fine for the casual player or beginner playing mostly in the open position. Includes a nice vintage hardshell case.
