Guild D-40 Standard Acoustic Guitar - Natural "Chloe"

Introducing the Guild D-40 NAT Standard Acoustic Guitar: A Musical Masterpiece at Terry Carter Music Store

At Terry Carter Music Store, your dreams of owning an acoustic guitar that truly resonates with your soul are about to come true. Introducing the Guild D-40 NAT Standard Acoustic Guitar, a masterpiece that's set to sweep you off your feet.

Guild's innovative 40 Standard Series brings you the Vintage Gloss nitro finish, a magical blend of satin and gloss that caresses the guitar's tonewoods, showcasing their natural splendor in a way you've never seen before.

Unveil the Vintage Gloss Nitro Finish: A Timeless Elegance with a Modern Twist

Firstly, as you strum your fingers across the strings, you'll instantly feel the difference. The Vintage Gloss finish envelopes the guitar in a soft, silky coating that not only imparts a vintage aura but also enhances its tone.

Secondly, the resonance is incredible, like the sweet harmonies of a favorite song. Crafted with a solid Sitka Spruce top and solid African Mahogany back and sides, the D-40 Standard embodies the quintessential dreadnought sound.

Additionally, its volume, clarity, and sustain are bound to astonish, whether you're accompanying vocals or taking the spotlight yourself. The tortoiseshell celluloid pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild's iconic peak logo inlay on the headstock transport you to a realm where classic meets contemporary.

Elevate Your Sound: Solid Sitka Spruce and African Mahogany for Unmatched Quality

Prepare to be captivated by the power, nuance, and responsiveness brought to you by Guild's forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack bracing. With every strum, you'll feel the punchy tone resonating through the room, carried by a smooth top end that's simply enchanting.

Moreover, the Indian Rosewood fingerboard, gracing the comfortable C-profile Mahogany neck, is your gateway to musical expression. And let's not forget the little details that make a world of difference: an Indian Rosewood bridge, 20:1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle. These premium elements ensure that every note you play is nothing short of perfection.

* CUSTOM SETUP - Although each instrument comes with a factory setup, it is strongly recommended to consider adding a custom setup.

In order to explore these customization options, simply click the "ADD SETUP" button below.

* REQUIRED FOR WARRANTY - To ensure your warranty is valid, it's crucial to use a humidifier, which is strongly recommended regardless of where you live. Not only do humidifiers safeguard your investment, but they also facilitate the warranty process by demonstrating that you have taken precautions to protect your ukulele. When making a warranty claim, it is likely that they will inquire about your use of a humidifier.
