Player's Perspective

We're proud to bring you another awesome acoustic from Guild! This D-40 is Guild's take on the quintessential dreadnought shape and look, using a classic tonewood combination of a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides and a rosewood fretboard for a huge, warm sound that's sure to meet your needs. Equipped with a top-shelf LR Baggs preamp, this is a very reasonably-priced dreadnought model that will sound both in the studio and on stage, plugged or unplugged. Come check one out whenever you get a chance!

Item Specifics

Brand new to the Guild USA line, the D-40 is perfect for players looking for that ultimate dreadnought sound. The classic wood combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides provides remarkable volume, clarity and sustain. The D-40 features an East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, premium 20:1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle. An elegant and thin satin varnish finish gives this guitar its familiar broken-in look and feel, while allowing the tone woods to reach their optimal sonic potential.

The D-40’s timeless appointments include a vintage style rosette, tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild’s peak logo inlaid on the headstock. Each D-40 comes with a hand-signed, numbered certificate of authenticity, and ships with a Guild archtop wood case with a built-in Humicase® humidification system.
