Outstanding Design, Details, and Sound in a Robust Dreadnought
Get the classic, full-bodied tone of a dreadnought with the Guild D-140CE. This robust acoustic-electric guitar features a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides for full, rich acoustic tone. The rosewood fingerboard offers outstanding response and playability that's ideal for flatpicking and fingerpicking alike. Strum the D-140CE with big, open first-position chords and hear the sustain and resonance that make the Westerly series acoustic guitars a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater. The D-140CE also features a Guild/Fishman GT1 with Sonicore pickup for stellar amplified acoustic tone and a deep cutaway for effortless access higher up the neck for lead runs and varied chord voicings.
A legendary series
The Westerly series of acoustic guitars taps into Guild's second chapter after relocating the company’s design and build headquarters from New Jersey to a Rhode Island furniture factory. This larger, improved space afforded a new direction and dedication to improving their already excellent craftsmanship. And the D-140CE is part of that tradition as it reflects impeccable build details and fine appointments — all with a focus on improved tone and durability. A genuine rosewood bridge and real bone nut and saddle enhance tone and resonance on the D-140CE. In addition, scalloped spruce X-bracing provides additional resonance and sustain enhancement as well as ensuring long-term durability.
Awesome amplified tone
The Guild/Fishman GT1 with Sonicore pickup in the D-140CE is a wonderfully designed system that naturally and fully translates the acoustic tone of this fine instrument. The sound is full and dynamic onstage, and it pairs well with a microphone for recording parts at home or in the studio. Volume and tone controls are mounted directly in the soundhole for easy access and a look that won't detract from your guitar's natural beauty.
