The Guild D-40 Traditional Acoustic Guitar embodies the features that have made the D-40 one of Guild's most beloved and revered models. Its high-grade solid Sitka spruce top is paired with solid African mahogany back and sides, delivering a powerful, warm and balanced dreadnought voice with excellent projection and resonance.

Scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing provides added power, nuance and responsiveness, while the comfortable C-shaped three-piece mahogany and walnut neck offers a familiar playing feel. An Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, authentic dovetail neck joint, compensated bone saddle and bone nut complete this traditionally crafted acoustic guitar.

The Natural gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish showcases the beauty of the premium tonewoods, complemented by a tortoiseshell pickguard and binding, Tortoiseshell and ABS Rings rosette, genuine mother-of-pearl Guild Peak and Chesterfield headstock logos and nickel-plated open-gear tuners. Each D-40 Traditional includes a hand-signed, numbered certificate of authenticity and a Guild humidified hardshell case. Proudly made in the USA and available from Sky Music Australia.
