Doesn't matter. It's what feels right to you.
Guild is a pretty good make, but I don't know about the model.

If you like it, buy it. I'd only really be looking at three things:
1) Does it stay in tune?
2) Does it have an action which you like? (action = distance between strings and fretboard).
3) Is the neck straight? Pick it up and sight along the neck from one end to the other. You'll be able to tell if something's out of whack 'coz it obviously won't look right (even to a beginner).
If it's fully functional, the only question is whether or not it's the guitar for you based on sound and styling. Only you can answer that once you get a little better.
I personally favour Ibanez, Fender and Steinberger. But then I'm a rock deity. YMMV.
