Guild Westerly D-240E Limited Edition Electro Acoustic Guitar in Flamed Natural

The Guild Westerly D-240E Limited Flamed Natural is a workhorse electro-acoustic dreadnought that delivers classic Guild tone, impressive projection and easy plug-in performance at a highly accessible price. With its solid Sitka spruce top, arched mahogany back and Fishman-designed GT-1 pickup system, it is equally at home on the sofa, in the studio or on stage.

Combining traditional Westerly Series appointments with a limited flamed natural aesthetic, the D-240E offers a rich, balanced voice and a comfortable C-shape neck that will appeal to strummers, flatpickers and singer-songwriters alike. Thoughtful details such as a bone nut and compensated bone saddle, pau ferro fingerboard and bridge, and mother-of-pearl rosette complete a specification that punches well above its price point.

Classic Dreadnought Power and Balance

The D-240E uses Guilds iconic D dreadnought body shape to deliver a full, room-filling acoustic sound. The large body offers plenty of low-end warmth and punch for big open chords, while still retaining clarity and definition for more intricate picking. Whether you are leading a band or accompanying your own vocals, this shape gives you the projection and presence you need.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Arched Mahogany Back

A solid Sitka spruce top provides the D-240E with a responsive, dynamic character that opens up the more you play it. Paired with mahogany back and sides, you get a balanced tonal profile with clear highs, focused mids and a supportive low end. The arched mahogany back is a Guild hallmark, enhancing volume, sustain and overall richness without adding weight or complexity to the design.

Comfortable C-Shape Neck and Pau Ferro Fingerboard

The mahogany neck is carved to a comfortable C shape that feels familiar and inviting under the hand, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned player. A 25.5 inch scale length and 16 inch fingerboard radius offer a modern, easy-playing feel, while the bound pau ferro fingerboard adds a smooth playing surface and an upmarket look. Mother-of-pearl dot inlays keep things classic and easy to navigate up the neck.

Stage Ready with Guild / Fishman GT-1 Electronics

Equipped with a Guild / Fishman GT-1 pickup system, the D-240E is ready to plug in whenever you are. Discreet Volume and Tone controls let you quickly dial in your sound without spoiling the guitars clean lines. The system is designed to reproduce the natural acoustic character of the instrument, so what you hear unplugged is what you get through an amp or PA.

• Solid Sitka Spruce Top - A solid top responds more dynamically to your playing, offering better nuance, projection and tonal complexity than a laminated alternative. As it ages and is played in, it will continue to open up and reward you with an even richer sound.
• Arched Mahogany Back and Sides - The arched mahogany back increases volume and sustain while contributing warmth and depth to the overall tone. Combined with mahogany sides, it delivers a lush, full sound that works brilliantly for strumming and flatpicking.
• Comfortable C-Shape Neck with Pau Ferro Fingerboard - The C-shape mahogany neck and 16 inch radius pau ferro fingerboard provide a smooth, modern playing feel that suits both chords and single-note lines. It is an easy transition for electric players and comfortable for long acoustic sessions.
• Guild / Fishman GT-1 Pickup System - The integrated GT-1 system captures the natural acoustic voice of the D-240E when amplified. Simple Volume and Tone controls give you quick access to usable sounds on stage or in rehearsal, without the need for external preamps or complex setups.
