Guild D-40 Standard Acoustic Guitar - Natural
Vintage Gloss Nitro Finish
Guild's new 40 Standard Series introduces the new Vintage Gloss nitro finish. This all-new finish is an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer with both satin and gloss qualities that highlight the natural beauty of the tonewoods.
With an even smoother texture than a nitro satin finish, the Vintage Gloss features a hand-sprayed soft, silky coating that gives each guitar a worn-in vintage feel and tone, with a modern sleek appearance.
Scalloped Adirondack Spruce Bracing
Guild adds forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack bracing for power, nuance and responsiveness. Combined with a Sitka Spruce Top and African Mahogany back and sides, this bracing provides a punchy tone with smooth top end.
Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Solid African Mahogany Back and Sides
This new iteration of the D-40 Standard provides the ultimate dreadnought sound. With it's solid Sitka Spruce top with solid African Mahogany back and sides, the D-40 Standard serves up remarkable volume, clarity, and sustain that's perfect for anything from vocal accompaniment to solo work, and many other "unplugged" applications. The D-40 Standard manifests vintage charm with timeless appointments such as a tortoiseshell celluloid pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild's peak logo inlay on the headstock.
Indian Rosewood Fingerboard and Bridge
An Indian Rosewood fingerboard caps that comfortable C-profile Mahogany neck. Premium materials such as an Indian Rosewood bridge, 20:1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle finish off the D-40 Standard.
Available in Natural and New Pacific Sunset Burst Finish Options
In addition to the classic Natural finish, Guild's new 40 Standard Series debuts the new Pacific Sunset Burst.
