Guild USA M-40E

Guild's USA guitars are stunning instruments in both appearance and tone. They are made in Southern California using original moulds and equipment from Guild's early days and stand amongst some of the finest acoustics in the world.

The M-40E brings the quality that always comes with Guild's USA models.  The guitar is a small, concert-sized body, ideal for fingerpicking or strumming where mellowness is required over power and volume.  It is manufactured using an all-solid build utilising the classic spruce and mahogany combination.  This works great for tonal balance and it's clear to see why it has stood the test of time.  Inside the guitar we are treated to scalloped braces, which have been designed to add to both the structure and gorgeous sonic qualities.  The look of the guitar is gorgeous, featuring a satin nitrocellulose finish.

The nut width on this guitar is 44.5mm and the neck is a C-shape, offering a very comfortable feel for most players - not too big and not too small. The saddle and nut are made of bone which allow excellent energy transference between the strings and the wood and the guitar comes complete with a deluxe humidified wooden hard case.  The pickup is made in California by L.R. Baggs and is the Element undersaddle model.  It is designed to work with the soundboard's movement rather than the string-attack, helping create a natural sound rather than the harshness of some acoustic guitar pickups.
