SOLD - Guild D40 – USA 1989

SOLD

From Guild: 

‘The dreadnought bodied D-40 produces an extraordinary amount of volume and warmth, matching a tight grained solid Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides for extraordinary separation and clarity. Its strong, focused bass response, sweet, singing mids, and crisp highs give it a distinctive voice that sets this guitar apart from all others.’

• Model: D40 
• Top: Solid Spruce 
• Back & Sides: Solid Mahogany 
• Bridge: Rosewood 
• Neck: One-piece Mahogany 
• Fretboard: Rosewood 
• Number of Frets: 20

• Depth: 5 inches 
• Width: 15 3/4 inches 
• Scale Length: 25 5/8 inches 
• Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer  

This is a stunning guitar – some beautiful timbers and top-shelf craftmanship are combined in the best way possible. The one piece back is spectacular. This guitar features Mother-of-pearl dot position inlays, decorative soundhole rosette, pearl inlaid Guild logo and decorative pearl Chesterfield inlay on the peghead, a one-piece Mahogany neck with Rosewood fretboard, Rosewood bridge, and three per side Grover tuning machines.  

And the sound is amazing – everything as described by Guild at the top of this description. Certainly a great alternative to high end Gibsons and Martins that occupy this level of the acoustic market. 

Comes in its Guild hard case in new condition.
