Experience Professional Sound with the Guild D-140
The Guild D-140 ATB Antique Burst guitar offers musicians a premium playing experience by combining traditional craftsmanship with all-solid wood construction. While many entry-level instruments rely on laminates, this specific model features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid African mahogany back and sides. Consequently, the guitar produces a remarkably warm and resonant tone that improves significantly as the wood ages over time.
Exceptional Build Quality and Performance Specs
This dreadnought model stands out because it feels surprisingly light despite its large, commanding body shape. Furthermore, the scalloped Sitka spruce bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, which enhances the natural projection of the instrument. Because the guitar utilizes a 1 3/4 inch nut width, players find it provides ample string spacing for both intricate fingerstyle pieces and heavy rhythmic strumming.
Premium Materials for Lasting Playability
In addition to the solid tonewoods, the D-140 includes several high-end appointments that elevate its aesthetic appeal and functional longevity. For example, the use of genuine bone for the nut and saddle ensures superior vibration transfer compared to plastic alternatives. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge further contribute to the smooth feel and classic look that Guild enthusiasts have loved since the 1960s.
