1981 Guild D-40
Summary: The classic wood combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides provides remarkable volume, clarity and sustain. The D-40’s timeless appointments include a vintage style rosette, tortoiseshell pickguard, white binding, and Guild’s peak logo inlaid on the headstock. The D-40 is perfect for players looking for that ultimate dreadnought sound.
