Ships set-up and ready to play from Grassroots Music Store, your Authorized Guild Dealer.
The Guild D-40 Standard Dreadnought is designed for players who appreciate the sound, feel, and character of classic vintage American acoustic guitars. Built in the United States, this instrument stays true to the roots of a traditional dreadnought while using carefully selected solid tonewoods for a powerful, versatile voice. A solid Sitka spruce top paired with scalloped Adirondack spruce X-bracing delivers strong projection and dynamic response, while African mahogany back and sides provide warmth, depth, and sustain. The C-shaped mahogany neck offers smooth, confident playability, allowing effortless movement across the rosewood fingerboard. Finished in a vintage-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that sits between full gloss and satin, the D-40 Standard captures an authentic vintage look and feel, rounded out by premium hardware including a bone nut and saddle.
