Guild D-240E Westerly Archback Electro Acoustic, Natural - Secondhand

Full Description

Exquisitely detailed tones

Mahogany and Sitka spruce is a tried and tested sonic combination. Mahogany creates a warm, super rich low end that perfectly complements the baritone scale length. And while the mahogany provides the bass with rich warmth, the Sitka spruce articulates each note in pristine clarity, in addition to giving your high-end snap and sparkle.

Project your sound

If you're playing acoustically, you're going to be heard in detail. And that's thanks to the Sitka spruce top and its underpinned scalloped X bracing, which articulates your notes in stunning clarity. With spruce's natural sonority focused by the X bracing shape, you'll be able to pick out the sound of each string in a mix.

Combine these with the large dreadnought shape and you'll enjoy a clear voice with tonnes of volume, so even if you're playing unplugged - you'll have no trouble being heard!

Take your sound further with Fishman-designed electronics

Whether you're performing or recording, you can do it with ease thanks to the Fishman-designed AP-1 electronics. These retain all the natural characteristics of your acoustics thanks to its under saddle design that scoops up every vibration and detail of your playing.
