I'm getting the GAS attack for an all mahogany small-body. Had a '37 Martin 00-17 years ago and sold to some guy from England at a Dallas Guitar Show. My mistake. But anyway anyone got one of those Guild M's or know the differenc?

Also $600. After a very quick bit of research, my guess is country of
origin. The advertised specs for the GAD M-20 and GAD M-120 seem to be
the same.

Haven't played or seen an M-20/M-120 in person Tom although I'd love
to have the chance to play an original Hoboken built one. I certainly
love my two f-20 spruce topped Guilds but spruce ain't mahogany
obviously. Can't help with the differences between an M-20 and an
M-120 although I notice that the GAD M-120 has an "abalone" sound-hole
rosette which I`m pretty sure the GAD M-20 didn't have. If you're not
worried about a longer scale length I recon the Martin 00-15 would be
worth contemplating perhaps? More money that the Guild of course. The
Recording King ROS 616 (similar to a Martin 000-15S in specs) looks
interesting as well for a relatively low cost guitar. Have fun
looking.

PS Just for what it's worth if the new GAD M-120 has a similar nut
width to the original f-20/m-20s you'll have to like Very narrow nut
widths. Not a problem for me 'cause I've got smallish hands but I've
heard that everything is bigger in Texas so I'm not sure how they'd
suit you? : )

Those look like dandies but I'm just looking for something cheaper. Of course, if you want to make up the difference in price with a donation to The Fund, that would be okay, too.

Well, I am interested in the shorter scale length which is what drew me to the Guilds. I've got a Recording King RAJ-27 that Stan Milam couldn't get over how loud it is. He liked how it played, too.
