Guild Westerly M-240E Electro Acoustic Guitar in Natural

The Guild Westerly M-240E Natural is a compact, concert-sized acoustic-electric that delivers a rich, full voice far bigger than its footprint. Inspired by the classic 1960s F-20, it blends a solid Sitka spruce top with an arched mahogany back for impressive projection, clarity and warmth, while the discreet Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system lets you take that same character straight onto the stage or into the studio.

Equally at home on the sofa, in the writing room or at an open mic, the M-240E Natural is a brilliant choice for singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players, smaller-framed guitarists and anyone who wants a high-quality, easy-playing acoustic that is comfortable to live with and simple to plug in. Premium touches like a bone nut and saddle, pau ferro fingerboard and bridge, and a mother-of-pearl rosette round out a guitar that punches well above its price point.

Compact M-Concert Body with Archback Design

The M-240E Natural uses Guilds petite M-Concert body shape with an arched mahogany back, giving you the comfort and intimacy of a small-bodied acoustic with the projection and sustain of a larger guitar. The archback design helps focus the low end and adds natural volume, making this an ideal companion for home playing, travel and long sessions where comfort is key.

Solid Sitka Spruce and Mahogany for Classic Acoustic Tone

A solid Sitka spruce top sits at the heart of the M-240Es tone, providing crisp attack, wide dynamic range and excellent note definition. Paired with mahogany back and sides, the result is a warm, balanced sound with clear mids and a sweet top end that works beautifully for strumming, flatpicking and nuanced fingerstyle parts alike.

Comfortable C-Shape Neck and Pau Ferro Fingerboard

The C-shape mahogany neck and 25.5 inch scale length offer a familiar, easy-playing feel that suits both beginners and experienced players. A bound pau ferro fingerboard with a 16 inch radius keeps chords comfortable and single-note lines smooth, while mother-of-pearl dot inlays add a subtle vintage flavour.

Guild/Fishman GT-1 Pickup System

For effortless amplification, the M-240E Natural comes fitted with a Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system. Discreet Volume and Tone controls let you shape your sound on the fly, while the pickup itself is voiced to capture the guitars natural acoustic character, making it a reliable choice for gigs, rehearsals and recording.

• Compact M-Concert Body - The smaller M-Concert body is comfortable to hold and easy to play for long periods, making it perfect for smaller players, younger guitarists and anyone who prefers a more intimate feel without sacrificing tone.
