Guild Electric Guitars

Famed Electric Guitar Brand

Buddy Guy, Richie Havens and Soundgarden's Kim Thayil have all gravitated towards Guild electric guitars. They're a benchmark of quality without breaking the bank, while bringing a unique aesthetic to vintage-inspired shapes.

Semi-hollow and hollow body guitars

For a long time, Guild have specialised in semi-hollow and hollow body guitars that channel the classic vibe of mid-twentieth century jazz and rock 'n' roll instruments. Expect vintage-inspired aesthetics and expressive tones from the imposing Starfire guitar, available in both double cut and single cut styles. You also get a choice of Guild's own thick and warm humbucker or the raspier Franz P-90 Soapbar single-coil pickups.

Solid body guitars

Guild's current crop of solid body electric guitars are inspired by the vintage Guild guitars of old, but add a modern twist. The range features the double cut Polara an aggressive contoured shape delivering warmth and clarity for modern crunch and distortion. The offset/s-type hybrid shape Surfliner dips into Cali vibes. It's built for a combination of fast playing thanks to a satin-finished neck and versatile tone with a humbucker in the bridge and two single coil pickups in the middle and neck positions.

For unique style and sound to set you apart from the crowd on a budget under £1000, Guild is a brilliant choice.
