The Guild company began its rise from a small Manhattan guitar workshop to one of the world's premier makers of high-quality acoustic (and several popular electric) guitars. Registered in October 1952, the fledgling Guild Guitars company set up a 1,500-square-foot manufacturing facility on the second floor of a factory at 536 Pearl St., not far from where Al Dronge's Park Row music store used to be in the 1930s and '40s. Sagman & Dronge opened at 130 Park Row in New York, near Silver & Horland and Harry Newcorn's Music also on Park Row. J&R Music Instruments has the distinction of being at 33 Park Row, near the birthplace of Guild Guitars.

The Guild Guitar GAD series acoustic guitars extend a tradition in nylon string acoustic guitars that helped make New York City a center of strumming folk music. Now it's ready to help you carve your grooves into the music scene.
