Guild Westerly D-140CE Electro Acoustic Guitar in Antique Burst

The Guild Westerly D-140CE Antique Burst is a performance-ready dreadnought electro-acoustic that blends classic Guild tone with modern playability and stage-friendly electronics. With an all-solid Sitka Spruce and African Mahogany construction, a comfortable C-shaped neck and a discreet Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system, it delivers a powerful, balanced voice whether you are strumming hard, fingerpicking delicately or plugging straight into a PA.

This cutaway dreadnought offers the projection and low-end authority that Guild are known for, while the Antique Burst gloss finish, Mother-of-Pearl appointments and Chesterfield headstock logo give it a timeless, vintage-inspired look. Premium touches like a bone nut and saddle, open-gear tuners and rosewood fingerboard and bridge complete a professional-level instrument that is built to inspire on stage, in the studio and at home.

Classic Dreadnought Power with Cutaway Access

The D-140CE is built on Guilds iconic dreadnought cutaway platform, giving you that big, full-bodied acoustic sound with plenty of volume and headroom. The cutaway design lets you comfortably reach the upper frets, making it ideal for players who like to explore melodic lines and solos higher up the neck without sacrificing the depth and punch of a traditional dreadnought.

All-Solid Sitka Spruce and African Mahogany

With a solid Sitka Spruce top and solid African Mahogany back and sides, this guitar offers a rich, balanced tonal palette that will continue to open up over time. Sitka Spruce provides clarity, articulation and dynamic range, while Mahogany adds warmth, midrange focus and a pleasing natural compression. Scalloped OX bracing helps the top resonate freely, giving you a responsive instrument that reacts beautifully to both light fingerstyle and heavy strumming.

Comfortable Neck and Rosewood Playing Surface

The African Mahogany neck is carved into a comfortable C shape that feels familiar and easy to play for a wide range of hand sizes. A 25.5 inch scale length and 1 3/4 inch nut width offer plenty of room for complex chords and fingerstyle work, while the 16 inch radius rosewood fingerboard keeps things smooth and fast under the fingers. Mother-of-Pearl dot inlays provide clear visual reference points without distracting from the elegant aesthetic.

Stage-Ready Guild/Fishman GT-1 Electronics

Equipped with a Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system, the D-140CE is ready to go straight into an amp or PA. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls keep the look of the guitar clean while giving you quick access to essential adjustments mid-performance. The GT-1 captures the natural acoustic character of the guitar, making it a reliable choice for live gigs, rehearsals and recording sessions where you need consistent, controllable sound.

• All Solid Sitka Spruce and African Mahogany Construction - Solid tonewoods for the top, back and sides provide a resonant, lively acoustic voice with excellent projection and sustain. This construction helps the guitar age gracefully, rewarding you with improved tone the more you play it.
• Dreadnought Cutaway Body - The classic dreadnought shape delivers a powerful low end and strong midrange presence, perfect for accompanying vocals or cutting through a mix. The cutaway design offers easier access to higher frets, expanding your melodic and soloing possibilities.
• Guild/Fishman GT-1 Pickup System - A discreet under-saddle pickup with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls lets you plug in without compromising the guitars aesthetics. You can quickly tailor your sound on stage, ensuring a clear, natural amplified tone in any live setting.
• Premium Hardware and Appointments - Bone nut and saddle, Guild Vintage 18 open-gear tuners and ivory-coloured binding all contribute to stable tuning, strong tonal transfer and a refined vintage look. Mother-of-Pearl rosette details and the Chesterfield headstock logo add a touch of classic Guild heritage.
