Guild M-140 Natural Westerly Concert steel-string guitar
Product no: 9000-0017-8064 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

With their Westerly Collection, Guild pulled out all the stops to develop a broad range of high-quality steel-string guitars. This instrument is a great example of the brand's skill and craftsmanship by giving it a combination of solid African mahogany back and sides and a Sitka spruce top for a remarkably rich, clear sound. This model's all-solid construction offers powerful sound projection, making it ideal for performances and jam sessions. Its appearance is classy and elegant, with a natural finish, black-and-ivory purfling, an ivory-coloured binding, and a mother-of-pearl sound hole rosette inlay.

Westerly M-140: high playability

This guitar sounds as beautiful as it looks. Guild have a lot of experience building guitars, so they know exactly what a guitarist is looking for. That's why they've given this Westerly M-140 a comfortable C-shaped neck which feels comfortable and familiar. The 45.5mm-wide string nut ensures there's enough room between the strings to allow each note to resonate fully. The vintage-style Guild machine heads keep this instrument in tune so you can concentrate on your playing.

Guild Westerly Collection

Guild have been building high-quality instruments since 1953, and their acoustic guitars hark back to earlier, vintage models. Each of the steel-string guitars in their Westerly series feature solid woods and are equipped with a number of tasteful, luxurious details. What's more, the headstock is adorned with the iconic Guild brand inlay with Chesterfield emblem, and all of the guitars feature a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard. The Westerly series offers top-quality acoustic guitars at an attractive price and each guitar comes with a compatible Guild Polyfoam case.
