Guild D-40 Standard Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

Guild’s D-40 Standard Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar series introduces a Vintage Gloss finish that's an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer with both satin and gloss qualities to 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.

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.

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.

An Indian Rosewood fingerboard caps the 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.

Inspired by Guild's Southern California home, this new finish embodies casual elegance with a subtle edge burst.
