Guild's iconic arched back makes its return on the compact Westerly M-240E acoustic-electric. The purpose of this trademark feature is twofold: principally, it reduces weight and increases live projection; but it also pays tribute to some of Guild's popular models, like the D-25 and F-30. The result is a great-playing, easy-traveling guitar with Guild's unmistakable look. The Westerly M-240E harkens back to Guild's golden-era flat tops with some exciting vintage specs, including a concert-sized body made from premium tonewoods, a classic Guild "C"-shaped neck, and a retro red tortoiseshell pickguard. The M-240E includes the DeArmond Tone Boss soundhole pickup for a clean sound for plugging straight into a PA.

Guild Acoustics: a heritage built on great woods and features
Guild's heritage as one of America's premier early guitar makers is acknowledged in the M-240E. Solid Sitka spruce and mahogany meet in a compact concert body with an arched back for a big sound and great playing experience. A real bone nut and saddle deliver golden-era sustain and clarity. And a 1960s red tortoiseshell pickguard gives this guitar a look that was made to be seen.

Comfortable concert body you can't keep your hands off
Guitarists love small-bodied acoustics for home recording and playing around the house. The concert-sized Guild M-240E is no exception. This diminutive guitar plays great and knows how to cut through a mix. Its classic mahogany/spruce construction produces a warm, natural tone with complex overtones and surprising projection that can fill a room with music.
