Outstanding Design, Details, and Sound in a Robust Concert

Get the classic, balanced, one-of-a-kind tone of a concert acoustic guitar with the Guild M-140. This robust instrument features a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides for full, rich acoustic tone. A comfortable C-shape mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard offers outstanding response and playability that's ideal for flatpicking and fingerpicking alike. Concert-size acoustic guitars like the M-140 are renowned for their unique, balanced tone, which makes them ideal for both live solo performance and recording. The M-140 is part of Guild's famous Westerly series acoustic guitars, a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater.

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 M-140 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 of the M-140. In addition, scalloped spruce X-bracing provides additional resonance and sustain enhancement as well as long-term durability.

Guild M-140 Concert Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Concert acoustic with solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides with detailed appointments and expert craftsmanship
  • Mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard offers outstanding response and playability that's ideal for flatpicking and fingerpicking alike
  • Genuine rosewood bridge and real bone nut and saddle enhance tone and resonance

Shines with fingerstyle

Just got this guitar and love it. Since I'm really into fingerstyle these days, this guitar shines with this style. You can strum, but the sweet spot is fingerstyle. It's beautiful! It needs a setup as the action seems really high. It's a lot of guitar for the money, and I'm a real Martin person too. Thanks Kent Sallaz.

Wonderful smaller body guitar!

I have had a 2023 Guild M-140 for a few months now. The build quality, playability, projection, and tone are great - simply an amazing value. Beautiful woods, frets, and overall build quality. It easily rivals guitars that cost 2x, and playability may even rival those that cost 3x. Also, one important factor for me was the 1 3/4" nut width so I could easily transition between this and other guitars with that nut width. One upgrade that I did, that I highly recommend to anyone with this guitar, is switch the strings to a set of low-tension, halfway-to-medium gauge. I first put on a set of EJ16s (which I love on other guitars), however it sounded a bit thin and small. Then I put on a set of Woodtone Country strings (low tension; gauges .125, .0165, .025, .0335, .0435, .0545), and WOW did that transform the sound! The tone is now rich and full band, more like an OM, and surprisingly good low end. A great match to the projection too. The guitar really came alive with those strings, and is hard to put down. Thanks to Cody for his help with the ordering!

A great guitar

I have had this for over a year, and realized I hadn't reviewed it. It is a great sounding guitar, a perfect sit on the couch guitar at the end of a long work day. Good, balanced tone. Nice, easy scale (just under 25 inches). I had the Sweetwater team do a set-up, and they did a wonderful job. While this is not one of the US made models (the Westerly Collection is made off-shore) this is a great guitar regardless of where it is made, and one I would happily recommend to people looking for a smaller guitar.
Music background: playing guitar since fall of 1991

Guild M-140 Natural-What a great guitar!

After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to purchase this guitar. So glad I did! Many thanks to my sales engineer, Joe Holsclaw, for working with me and suggesting this model. It was in my hands the day after I ordered it. (Sweetwater IS the best around.)

I had a Guild dreadnought years ago, that I had to sell. Always regretted it. Now I'm loving this concert model. What a great value! All solid wood, exceptional build quality and components, light weight, and digging the open geared tuners. This thing is beautiful and sounds amazing.

If you've been considering the M-140, do it and you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful Guitar

This Guitar is even more beautiful than the pictures at Sweetwater or Guild! She's absolutely gorgeous! Lightweight, a dream to play! Notes ring out clearly and chords are sweet. The tone is well balanced. And did I mention how beautiful this guitar is?! Marshall was a delight to deal with... in fact that whole experience with Sweetwater and this guitar has exceeded my expectations. You won't regret purchasing one these!
