Guild Westerly D-140CE Electro Acoustic Guitar in Black

The Guild Westerly D-140CE Black is a performance-ready, all-solid dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric that blends classic Guild tone with sleek modern style. With its solid Sitka spruce top, solid African mahogany back and sides, comfortable C-shaped neck and discreet Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system, it is built to deliver a powerful, balanced acoustic voice on stage, in the studio or at home.

This model adds a striking high gloss black finish to the much-loved D-140 platform, offset beautifully by white binding and mother-of-pearl detailing. Under the hood you get premium appointments throughout, from the bone nut and saddle to vintage-style open gear tuners, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability and a clear, resonant tone that will keep inspiring you to play.

Classic Guild Dreadnought Power

The D-140CE Black features Guild’s D-size dreadnought cutaway body, giving you a full-bodied, room-filling acoustic sound with plenty of low-end warmth and projection. The cutaway design makes it easy to reach the upper frets, so you can explore melodic lines and solos without sacrificing that big, traditional dreadnought voice.

All-Solid Tonewood Construction

With a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid African mahogany back and sides, the D-140CE Black offers the classic Guild recipe for a rich, balanced tone. Spruce brings clarity, headroom and dynamic response, while mahogany adds warmth and midrange focus. Scalloped OX bracing and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge help the guitar resonate freely, giving you punch, sustain and a tonal character that will only improve as the wood opens up over time.

Stage-Ready Guild/Fishman Electronics

The onboard Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system makes it simple to plug in and play, with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls that keep the top clean and resonant. This discreet setup lets you dial in your sound quickly and intuitively, whether you are playing through an acoustic amp or going straight into a PA, while preserving the natural acoustic character of the guitar.

Premium Feel and Finishing Touches

A comfortable C-shaped African mahogany neck with a 25.5 inch scale and 16 inch radius rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth, familiar playing feel for both strumming and fingerstyle. Mother-of-pearl dot inlays, a three-ring rosette with mother-of-pearl centre and the classic Guild Chesterfield headstock logo give the D-140CE Black a refined, vintage-inspired look. Ivory-coloured binding, nickel hardware and a black pickguard complete a stylish, stage-ready aesthetic.
