Overview
The concert-sized Guild M-40 Standard Natural acoustic guitar is meticulously crafted in the USA. Its solid African mahogany back and sides provide warmth, while its solid Sitka spruce top adds brightness and a lively response, making it an excellent choice for singer-songwriters and fingerstyle guitarists. The smaller body shape, wider nut width, and comfortable C shape neck also make it exceptionally easy to play. A natural Vintage Gloss finish, complemented by a tortoiseshell pickguard, white binding, a Guild Peak headstock inlay, and open-gear tuners with cream buttons, give the M-40 Standard Natural a timeless look. A Deluxe hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity are included.
The M-40E Standard Natural also includes an integrated L.R. Baggs Element VTC active pickup system with Volume and Tone controls.
