Guild Westerly D-120CE Electro Acoustic Guitar in Natural

The Guild Westerly D-120CE in Natural is a classic dreadnought electro acoustic with a cutaway, all-solid mahogany construction and a warm, powerful voice. Comfortable to play and easy to amplify thanks to its discreet Fishman Sonitone system, it is a superb all-rounder for players who want a traditional look and feel with modern reliability.

With its solid African mahogany top, back and sides, the D-120CE delivers a rich, woody tone that works beautifully for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle alike. The slightly wider 44.5 mm nut offers extra room for your fretting hand without feeling cumbersome, while the gloss-finished mahogany neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, familiar playing surface. Vintage-inspired touches such as the Chesterfield headstock emblem and tortoiseshell pickguard complete the classic Westerly aesthetic.

On stage or in the studio, the factory-fitted Fishman Sonitone and Sonicore pickup capture the guitar’s natural character with clarity and balance. Simple volume and tone controls mounted just inside the soundhole keep the look clean and uncluttered, and the endpin jack makes plugging in quick and hassle-free. Whether you are upgrading from your first acoustic or looking for a reliable workhorse for regular gigging, the D-120CE offers impressive build quality and tone at a very attractive price point.

All-Solid African Mahogany Construction

The D-120CE features a solid African mahogany top, back and sides, giving it a warm, focused sound with strong midrange presence and pleasing sustain. All-solid construction helps the guitar resonate more freely and rewards regular playing, with the tone opening up and becoming even more responsive over time.

Comfortable Wider Nut and Cutaway Design

With a 44.5 mm nut width and a comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck, the D-120CE offers extra string spacing that is ideal for fingerpicking and intricate chord work, while still feeling natural for strummers. The Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets, making lead lines and higher chord voicings far more accessible.

Fishman Sonitone Electronics

Equipped with a Fishman Sonicore undersaddle pickup and Sonitone preamp, the D-120CE is ready for the stage straight out of the box. The discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls let you quickly dial in a natural, balanced amplified sound without compromising the guitar’s traditional appearance.

Classic Westerly Styling and Playability

From the gloss polyurethane finish and black body binding to the Chesterfield headstock emblem and tortoiseshell pickguard, the D-120CE channels the look of classic 1960s Guild acoustics. The 25.5 inch scale length, 16 inch fingerboard radius and Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard combine for a familiar, easy-playing feel that suits a wide range of styles.

• All-Solid African Mahogany Body - Solid mahogany top, back and sides deliver a warm, punchy and articulate tone that suits strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle. The all-solid build enhances resonance and projection, giving you a more expressive and dynamic instrument.
