Guild Westerly D-240E Electro Acoustic Guitar in Natural

The Guild Westerly D-240E is a classic dreadnought acoustic-electric that delivers big, open tone and impressive value. With a solid Sitka spruce top, arched mahogany back and a discreet Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system, it is built to give you a rich, projecting acoustic voice that translates naturally when you plug in, whether you are writing at home, recording, or stepping on stage.

Combining traditional Guild design with modern playability, the D-240E features a comfortable C-shape mahogany neck, a bound pau ferro fingerboard and quality bone nut and saddle for excellent tuning stability and sustain. Finished in a natural satin that lets the wood breathe and resonate, it is a workhorse dreadnought that feels as good as it sounds.

Classic Dreadnought Power with Arched Back Projection

The D-240E uses Guilds D dreadnought body shape for that familiar, full-bodied acoustic sound, but adds an arched mahogany back for extra projection and sustain. This construction helps the guitar move more air, giving you a louder, more responsive instrument that holds its own in a mix and rewards a strong strumming hand with a lush, enveloping sound.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top for Dynamic, Balanced Tone

At the heart of the D-240E is a solid Sitka spruce top supported by scalloped X bracing. This classic tonewood choice offers a bright, articulate high end, clear mids and a tight low end that opens up the more you play. Whether you are fingerpicking or strumming hard, the top responds dynamically, making it a versatile partner across folk, rock, country and beyond.

Comfortable Neck and Pau Ferro Fingerboard

A C-shape mahogany neck with a 25.5 inch scale length and 43 mm nut width gives the D-240E a familiar, easy playing feel. The pau ferro fingerboard with a 16 inch radius feels smooth under the fingers and makes chord work and single note lines equally comfortable. Mother of pearl dot inlays keep things classic and clear on darker stages.

Guild/Fishman GT-1 Pickup for Natural Plugged-in Sound

The integrated Guild/Fishman GT-1 system sits discreetly inside the soundhole, keeping the guitar looking traditional while giving you simple Volume and Tone control at your fingertips. Designed to capture the natural acoustic character of the D-240E, it lets you plug straight into an amp or PA with confidence that your core sound will remain clear, warm and musical.
