Overview
In the world of acoustic bass guitars, Guild has established a legacy of their own. Through iconic acoustic bass performances such as Krist Novoselic's Nirvana Unplugged or Nathan Easts melodic lines in Clapton Unplugged, the pros chose Guild for the big stage. Guild redefined acoustic bass guitars in the mid 1970s with the introduction of the B-50, based on the ever popular Guild jumbo shape. The B-140E Natural carries on this tradition, providing an impressively loud tone that can be easily amplified with its Guild/Fishman BT 1 Pickup System.
Built with a solid Sitka spruce top, and solid African mahogany back and sides, the B-140E Natural features a bone nut and saddle, and mother of pearl rosette. This model also has a 1.5in nut width on a vintage shaped Guild neck, iconic Chesterfield headstock emblem reminiscent of 1960s Guilds, period correct tortoiseshell pick guard, and Guilds premium acoustic gig bag.
- Jumbo Cutaway body style
- Three Ring with Mother-of-Pearl Center rosette and Guild Peak Logo with Chesterfield - Mother-of-Pearl headstock logo
- Comfortable c-shaped neck
