Description
The M-240E brings Guild’s Westerly-era craftsmanship into a compact concert body that’s easy to hold onto and impossible to put down. A solid Sitka spruce top pairs with mahogany back and sides, but it’s Guild’s signature arched-back construction that sets this guitar apart—coaxing out extra volume, longer sustain, and a fuller low end than you’d expect from its size. Scalloped X bracing keeps the tone open and responsive rather than boxy.
The neck is where this guitar really shows its manners: a Slim C profile on mahogany, 24 3/4″ scale length, and a 1 11/16″ nut width make chord work and lead lines equally comfortable. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and Guild’s vintage-style open-gear tuners round out a build that feels considered rather than cost-cut.
Details matter here—pearloid rosette, period-correct tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS body binding, and a satin matte polyurethane finish give it a genuinely vintage look without feeling fussy. Plug in via the onboard Guild AP-1 active acoustic piezo pickup when you need to step up to a stage or amp.
