Guild Unleash Their New Acoustic Design Series


Guild have announced their new Acoustic Design Series featuring 19 new guitars.

The guitars come in various body shapes including Dreadnought, Classical, Concert, Jumbos with cutaways and their brand new Orchestra. All feature all-solid tonewoods, dovetail neck joint construction and slim, satin-finish necks.


There's both 6 and 12 string models - all available in acoustic and electro-acoustic with Fishman electronics.

Here's what Guild say:

Inspired by the classic jumbo guitars Guild is long famous for, the F-150R model is a full-bodied acoustic masterpiece with a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides that deliver rich, powerful sound and exceptional volume.

Other features include a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, ivoroid body and neck binding, and mother-of-pearl block inlays. It is also available as the F-150RCE which additionally features a soft, Venetian-style cutaway and Fishman® pickup system.

 
With the F-130CE and F-130RCE, the series offers two orchestra style acoustic/electric models that feature a 1 ¾” nut, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, ivoroid binding, mother-of-pearl rosette and inlays, and Fishman® pickup system.

The F-130CE’s solid mahogany back and sides deliver a strong, articulate voice, while the F-130RCE’s solid rosewood back and sides produce a rich, complex sound with warm bass and clear mids and highs making them ideal for a wide range of styles and performance applications.
 
The D-125 dreadnought and its 12-string sibling, the D-125-12, feature all-mahogany construction with a slim, satin-finish mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, bridge, and head cap.

Both models produce a unique and well-balanced sound with a clear, tight bass and a warm, airy top end that make them versatile instruments that are great for a broad range of musical styles.

 
Guild Acoustic Design Series instruments are available through authorized Guild dealers. For more information, visit www.guildguitars.com
