Guild OM-150 Natural Westerly steel-string guitar
Product no: 9000-0017-8145 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

This Guild OM-150 Natural Orchestra steel-string acoustic is slightly smaller than a Dreadnought and has a rounder shape. The back and sides are made of solid Indian rosewood and the top is made of solid sitka spruce. This Auditorium-style guitar features a mahogany set-in C-profile neck with a high-gloss finish and a 16-inch rosewood fretboard.

Guild OM-150: sound, response and feel

This natural-looking Guild offers a full sound with clear accents as well as a pleasant sustain and a wide dynamic range. Due to the slightly smaller body, this OM-150 Westerly has a brighter, tighter tone response. For finger-picking and music styles like blues, this guitar is perfect. To get that coveted vintage-style acoustic Guild sound, this steel-string features a 44.5mm bone string nut.

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 traditional '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.
