Guild D-40 Standard Demo

Description
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.
Indian Rosewood Fingerboard and Bridge
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.
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. Inspired by Guild's Southern California home, this new finish embodies casual elegance with a subtle edge burst. Each D-40 Standard ships with a Guild archtop wood case with built-in Humicase humidification system.

This is a Dream Guitar
submitted6 months ago

It is a pleasure to hold because it is extremely light. Out of the box it is perfect. There is a wonderful attention to detail. Really nice wood and very exciting finish, a little matt, a little luster. I love it. But the sound, the sound is loud, clear and balanced. I am amazed. This is my first Mahoganny guitar in many years and I love it. Warm and lovely. Very loud.
