General

The Guild DS-240 Memoir is an excellent choice when you're searching for a quality guitar with a nostalgic feel that doesn't set you back a staggering amount of money. This sloped-shoulder dreadnought model comes retro-dressed in traditional colours and sports a vintage-style rosette and a slick Guild Script logo on the headstock to pay homage to the instruments used during the 1920s. Sound-wise, the DS-240 Memoir fits the picture and sounds invitingly warm and transparent as if it's already been played for years.

An Acoustic Guitar With a History

This forceful guitar with strong and clear resonating solid spruce top is part of Guild's Westerly Collection: a series of guitars built with a special piece of Guild history in the back of the mind of each craftsman during the process. Back in 1967, Guild moved its production to Westerly, Rhode Island and subsequently greatly boosted the quality of their guitars. Thanks in part to the highly skilled employees, it didn't take long for the factory to be recognised for its well-designed and solidly-built acoustic guitars and today, this DS-240 faithfully proves that not much has changed since.

Bax Music Warranty This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

Guild DS-240 Memoir Westerly Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar

I got this guitar as a gift, and not disappointed. The guitar is easy to play, and has a great sound coming from it. I have several other guitars at twice the price, and I feel this one has a much nicer tone.

The shape is really nice too, sits nicely on my knee, and it also sits well when played standing up with a strap.

The action can be adjusted to get that perfect feel. It took me all of 10 mins to get the set-up just right for me, and I have loved playing it every day since i got it. I love the sound when Finger picking and it's now my go to guitar for this style.

Love it and it's a nice addition to my array of guitars. For a beginner to Intermediate right through to the seasoned pro, i would recommend this guitar. You only have to look at the pro musicians who use a Guild to know they are top quality.

Guild DS-240 Memoir Westerly Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar

Mooie gitaar met verrassend goede J45 sound. De afstelling fabriek af was wel erg slecht. Ik moest halskromming sterk bijstellen en een nieuw brugzadel erin zetten, omdat dat in mijn gitaar zeker 4mm te hoog was. Maar nu een toffe gitaar.

Guild DS-240 Memoir Westerly Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar

Ik ben heel tevreden met deze ( short scale) gitaar. Afstelling en bespeelbaarheid zijn meer dan goed. Klank is warm met duidelijk klinkende akkoorden en tonen. Stemknoppen zijn prima en de kleur is mooier dan op de foto. Een aanrader voor beginner tot gevorderde !

Guild DS-240 Memoir Westerly Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar

Je joue depuis près de 30 ans et j'ai eu beaucoup de guitares, certaines très onéreuses.
Cette Guild memoir est devenue ma principale acoustique.
Cette slope shoulder vaut vraiment son prix que ce soit au niveau du look ou du son.
Le son est très authentique et très cohérent.
La guitare donne une sensation de solidité, c'est loin d'être un jouet.
Je rédige cet avis seulement maintenant mais je joue cette Guild depuis trois ans.
J'ai légèrement resserré le truss rod et poncer le sillet de chevalet, ça a suffit pour m'offrir un réglage très correcte.
Une très belle option pour celui qui rêve d'une Gibson 45 à moindre prix.
Je recommande vivement cette guitare.

Guild DS-240 Memoir Westerly Acoustic Dreadnought Guitar

Dit is echt een geweldige gitaar! Afgezien dat hij er geweldig uitziet, is het geluid ook mooi warm. Echt een aanrader en zeker voor dit geld ga je niet een beter klinkende gitaar vinden.
