General

The Guild D-140CE electro-acoustic dreadnought puts superb sound within reach of those with a more modest budget. Part of the Guild Westerly Collection, this model is shaped by a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides that frames clear, full and fresh tone. A C-profile neck, flat fretboard radius and wide string nut offer more than satisfying playing comfort while details like the mother-of-pearl soundhole rosette, black and white purfling and deep sunburst finish are more than easy on the eye.

The Guild D-140CE with Fishman Sonitone pickup

The tightness, transparency and depth of the acoustic sound is registered and amplified by a Fishman developed Sonitone pickup that functions as a built-in active preamplifier, adding an extra injection of power to the overall sound that can be customised using the discreetly placed volume and tone controls.

The Guild Westerly Collection

Guild have been building high-quality instruments since 1953 and their acoustic guitars still echo some of the details of their earlier, vintage models. Each guitar included in the Westerly Series features a solid wood construction and comes supported by a number of subtle yet luxurious details, while the headstock is always adorned with the iconic Guild inlay and Chesterfield emblem and the body is always completed by a classic faux-tortoiseshell pickguard.
