Guild

Guild Guitars is a historic American brand, founded in New York in 1953, famous for building robust, professional-grade acoustic and electric guitars, particularly large-bodied flat-tops and classic archtops. Guild's acoustic reputation is built on the massive volume and deep resonance of its jumbo acoustic guitars, such as the iconic Guild F-55 and the smaller, versatile M-20 (famously associated with Nick Drake). Their electric line includes the revered semi-hollow Starfire and the unique S-100 Polara. The modern line offers guitars made in the USA (the Westerly Collection acoustics and archtops) as well as the affordable, high-quality Newark St. Collection electrics. Guild is an essential brand for songwriters, folk artists, and rock players seeking a durable, tonally distinct alternative to the other American heavyweights. A Guild F-55 Jumbo or a Starfire Semi-Hollow provides a professional instrument with a huge voice and a rich, storied heritage.
