Overview

The concert-sized Guild M-20 Natural acoustic guitar is meticulously crafted in the USA. The original M-20 was introduced in 1959 and in the following decade became known as "the Nick Drake guitar" after being featured on the cover of the legendary singer-songwriter's Bryter Layter album.

The guitar's solid African mahogany top, back, and sides give it a warm and resonant sound, while its smaller body shape and comfortable C-Shape neck make it exceptionally easy to play. A Natural satin nitro finish, complemented by a tortoiseshell pickguard, pearloid rosette, Guild Peak headstock inlay, and Deluxe Vintage tuners with cream buttons, gives the M-20 Natural a timeless look. A deluxe hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity are included.

Also available is the M-20E Natural, which includes an integrated L.R. Baggs Element VTC active pickup system with Volume and Tone controls.
