Brand new to the Guild USA line, the D-40 is perfect for players looking for that ultimate dreadnought sound. The classic wood combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides offers remarkable volume, clarity and durability. The D-40 features an East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, premium 20:1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-carved bone nut and saddle. An elegant, fine satin varnish finish gives this guitar its familiar look and feel, while allowing the tonewoods to reach their full tonal potential. Timeless elements of the D-40 include a vintage-style rosette, tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding and the guild logo inlaid on the headstock. Each D-40 comes with a numbered, hand-signed certificate of authenticity and comes with an archtop Guild wood case with a built-in Humicase humidification system. Finish options include satin varnish in natural or antique sheen with cabernet back, sides and neck. A discreet LR Baggs Element VTC pickup made in the USA is also available (D-40E).
