acoustic baritone guitars Descriptions
Guild D-140
The Guild D-140 brings back the glory days when dreadnoughts ruled. Designed with scalloped Sitka spruce bracing for power, articulation, and responsiveness, this all-solid-tonewood acoustic guitar delivers massive tone and volume. The D-140’s large dreadnought body, with its Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, serves up a robust tonal palette that’s perfect for vocal accompaniment, solo work, and many other "unplugged" applications. The D-140’s C-profile mahogany neck is comfortable and easy to navigate. Premium appointments include a genuine rosewood fingerboard and bridge, a bone nut and saddle, and a tortoiseshell pickguard. A vintage-style Antique Burst finish imparts a timeless look and feel while allowing the sound of the Guild D-140 to bloom unimpeded.
