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.
Inspired by a classic Guild dreadnought
Taking its cue from Guild’s iconic D-40 dreadnought, the D-140CE sports one of the steel-string guitar’s proven tonewood pairings: spruce and mahogany. In fact, the D-140CE’s top is comprised of premium solid Sitka spruce to provide you with a deep, rich, and finger-sensitive response paired with Guild’s revered canon-esque dreadnought projection. Solid African mahogany forms the back and sides to deliver a crisp and airy bite that particularly excels with boisterous flatpicking, while strumming low-position cowboy chords results in an enveloping embrace of warm midrange and deep, well-defined lows.
