Using a high-grade solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides, Guild adds scalloped Adirondack braces for power, nuance and responsiveness. The D-40 Traditional’s three piece mahogany and walnut neck is topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and is joined to the body with an authentic dovetail joint. This classic dreadnought is handsomely appointed with a tortoiseshell pickguard, rosette, and binding, a genuine mother-of-pearl Guild peak and chesterfield logo inlaid on the headstock, and nickel-plated open gear tuners. A lustrous nitrocellulose lacquer provides an elegant finish to this masterpiece, optimizing the beauty and resonant qualities of its premium woods.

Between the reviews I've read about these new d40 TRADITIONAL guitars being made under Ren Ferguson and the one I played before purchasing are true as far as consistency goes. The tone is incredible very balanced deep warm yet bright and it works awesome for strumming flat picking and finger picking. It does it all well. There something about the sound of the highs that sound incredible and plenty of low bottom without being to boomy. The tone not only sounds incredible but it's loud as well. Very comfortable neck for me and nice low action no fret buzz. Very high quality American made acoustic that I will never depart. Great job to Ren Ferguson and his design with specs on these new Guilds.
