2020s Guild D-140 Dreadnought Guitar

Overview: This is a newer Guild that I took in trade recently. It's a great-sounding, punchy guitar and, like a lot of these newer import Guilds, it has a rugged build and an "old school" feel to the neck profile and handling -- it's like the company is chasing a '50s-style guitar aesthetic more along Martin or Gibson lines than what the company itself was making at the time.

Tone: It's big-sounding and full with a good, lower-mids-focused punch and attack. It's a dreadnought and it does what you'd expect of one...!

Feel: The necks is a medium-bigger C shape and it has a 1 3/4" nut with so it sort-of handles like some of the chunkier-necked '50s Martins save that slightly-wider neck. Despite this, it plays quick and easy.

Interesting features: The Gibson-esque sunburst finish and lack of a pickguard are fairly striking right off the bat. It also has a nice set of Grover, 18:1 tuners from the factory It's a solid-wood-throughout guitar as well, with spruce in the top and mahogany for the back and sides.

Repairs included: Jose gave it a fret level/dress and setup and it's playing bang-on and ready to serve.
