The Guider Green Acrylic Fountain Pen

[ajnyani1947]

This is my first pen review!

I recently bought this beautiful acrylic fountain pen from Guider pens of Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. Here is its review.

The Guider Acrylic - Glitter and Eye Candy!

 

What I liked about the pen:
1. The looks, the looks!
2. The feel of the pen in the hand: Its soft, pretty light and doesn't feel bulky.
3. I liked the nib's wet, Fine-Medium writing. It writes smoothly.
4. The person from Guider Pens was very helpful and prompt. The pen reached me within 3 days of ordering it .. on WhatsApp!

Handwriting Sample

Size comparison: Airmail EB 69, Guider Acrylic and Jinhao X750

 

The pen is not as large as some of the other hand made ebonite pens from India. It fits the hand nicely and isn't as heavy as the Jinhao X450. However, the nib is smaller in comparison to the size of the pen.

Overall, I like the pen. In fact, this is my costliest pen yet!!

I don't intend on buying Mont Blancs and Watermans in the near future and also believe that a writing instrument should just be a writing instrument, not a luxury item.

All in all, I am happy that the pen looks stunning. More happy though, because it writes amazingly!

And finally, a special thanks to Vaibhav. Neither my blog, nor my photos are anything like his.. but this blog of his inspired me to buy this pen, and off-course the pic here.. ;-)

Awesome .. I have their coffe brown acrylic .. It's gorgeous .. The medium nib supplied is smooth but the fine nib supplied is scratchy to the amount of unusable..

Guider makes quality pens but their nibs are not reliable ..

Thanks and you are welcome. The nib writes smoothly, fine-medium and is wet.
