Outstanding Design, Details, and Sound in a Robust Orchestra

Get the legendary, balanced, unique tone of an orchestra acoustic guitar with the Guild OM-140CE. This robust acoustic-electric guitar features a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides for full, rich acoustic tone. The mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard offers outstanding response and playability that's ideal for flatpicking and fingerpicking alike. Strum the OM-140CE with big, open first-position chords and hear the sustain and resonance that make the Westerly series acoustic guitars a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater. The OM-140CE also features a Guild/Fishman GT3 with Sonicore pickup for stellar amplified acoustic tone and a deep cutaway for effortless access higher up the neck for lead runs and varied chord voicings.

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 OM-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 OM-140CE. In addition, scalloped spruce X-bracing provides additional resonance and sustain enhancement as well as ensuring long-term durability.

Awesome amplified tone

The Guild/Fishman GT3 with Sonicore pickup in the OM-140CE is a wonderfully designed system that naturally and fully translates the acoustic tone of this fine instrument. The sound is full and dynamic onstage, and it pairs well with a microphone for recording parts at home or in the studio. Volume and tone controls are mounted directly in the soundhole for easy access and a look that won't detract from your guitar's natural beauty.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

BEAUTIFUL

This is everything I hoped it would be. Beautiful, light, great set-up, sweet tone, perfect size, nice rolled edges on the fretboard... It's hard to believe at the price.

Great Guild

I have no experience will all solid-wood guitars before this one, but I love it so far. I can't give any comparison to other brands like Taylor or Martin, but it has a perfect feel and sound to me!

Mike Defraties from Sweetwater was a great help if you're looking for an all solid wood guitar at a great price this guitar should be perfect for you as well.
by Matt from Boston on

LOVELY Playability; PUNCHY sound; GREAT Value

I love this guitar. Yes, it is a five-star review, based on its value for the dollar.

I invested a lot of time to try a lot of things before committing to on OM-140CE (Antique burst finish). As a lot of you know, there's magic when you find something that feels *just right. True, "feel" is how it fits and sits with your body. It's also the feel that the sound gives. For me, the neck shape and the body profile make this VERY playable, with a comfortable and predictable action.

The sound has punch. It's well-balanced (not too bassy, not too trebly), both acoustically and when paired with an amplifier. The simple tone and volume controls give you *just enough*, not distracting from the resonance of the instrument itself.

Fit and finish are lovely, and exactly what you would expect from a Guild at this price.

As an overall package, this guitar provides immense value. Like any instrument, it calls to certain players, and it is quiet to others. This shouted to me. I haven't been able to put it down.

And as an extra special bonus (wait, there's more!), the gig bag is fabulous. Not a hardshell, but not the squishy gig bag we have all used before, its a form-fitting, lightweight, and practical case!

Oh Wow!!

I'll start the review a little differently. I'm a 58 year old guitarist and I've played a lot of guitars in my life. So why was I so excited once I finally ordered this OM140CE in antique sunburst? I don't know, but I was!! Like a kid at Christmas I couldn't wait for it to arrive.

When it did, I wanted to tear into the box and start playing. But I didn't. I forced myself to wait until it had been here in my house and acclimated to its new surroundings.

It was so worth the wait.

I opened the very nice Guild padded gig bag/soft case and it was even better than I expected. It's beautiful. The fit and finish are spot on great. The action is amazing. And the sound! I love it.

If you are on the fence trying to decide on buying one yourself, do it!! Have I played better acoustic guitars? Indeed I have. But when you consider the $ price, this is a better buy. I would have thought in order to get a guitar this nice I would have paid twice as much.

I love this guitar!!

Love everything about it!

I had the pleasure of going in store to look at all the beautiful acoustics in their store. For the price this guild guitar stood up to the beautiful sounded and tones of guitars 3X it's price. I am a fan of the quality and affordability of these guitars! I love it!
by Noah Gibson from Fort Wayne, IN on

At the same time, Guild has brought us some real beauties over the years, ranging from top-end acoustic guitars to timeless jazz boxes, and we're happy to say our most seasoned players agree that these instruments are second to none. As one of the prime Guild dealers, we know that when we sell one of these instruments, whoever gets it is going to love it and play it a lot, especially after we put it through our 55-point Evaluation to ensure it leaves our climate-controlled warehouse in perfect condition. Whether you're looking for your first acoustic guitar or your next archtop, ask your Sales Engineer about Guild.
