Guild M-40E Troubadour Natural electro-acoustic guitar
Product no: 9000-0032-1129 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The electro-acoustic M-140E is part of the legendary brand Guild's revived Troubadour collection. It's a compact concert guitar with a natural satin-gloss finish that's very popular among singer-songwriters due to its light weight and great sound. The neck, sides, and back are all made of warm mahogany. The top is made of spruce, which produces a defined, dynamic tone. The fretboard and bridge are made of Indian rosewood, a wood type that adds a creamy accent to the overall sound. To amplify this M-140 steel-string electro-acoustic, Guild has equipped it with a piëzo pickup and a single volume control.
