Acoustics With Depth and Character
Guild’s acoustic guitars are known for their lush, resonant sound, especially in their larger-bodied designs like the jumbo and dreadnought models.
Solid woods, hand-scalloped bracing, and thoughtful craftsmanship give Guild acoustics a full-bodied tone that’s articulate and capable of filling a room even when you’re not plugged in.
Electrics That Blend Vintage Cool With Modern Playability
Guild electrics are unapologetically retro in the best way. Models like the Starfire and Surfliner take inspiration from Guild’s mid-century roots, with offset bodies, semi-hollow designs, and distinctive finishes that turn heads.
But they’re not museum pieces. They're for modern players, with fast necks and rock-solid hardware.

It's perfect for adding texture to recordings or giving your live sound a distinctive edge. The dual humbuckers keep it versatile, while the vintage-inspired styling does the rest.
Guild D-140 Dreadnought Acoustic
The D-140 pairs a solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides, giving it a balanced, bold tone that works beautifully for strumming, fingerpicking, and everything in between. It’s a dynamo dreadnought — loud, clear, and warm, with the kind of projection that easily fills any room.
Guild M-20 Concert Acoustic
If you know, you know. The M-20 is steeped in Guild history — it was the first guitar off the production line in their original Westerly, RI factory, and it still holds that minimalist, vintage vibe today.

Equal parts showpiece and tone machine, the M-75 Aristocrat is a fully hollow electric that delivers classic tone with a lightweight, compact feel. Loaded with Franz-style humbuckers, it nails that sweet, articulate vintage sound — smooth on the highs, rich in the mids, and never muddy. Great for jazz, blues, rockabilly, or just looking like you know your way around a record player.
Guild Surfliner Deluxe Electric
The Surfliner Deluxe is where Guild steps outside its comfort zone — and totally sticks the landing.

It feels fast, plays smooth, and offers enough tonal flexibility to go from garage rock to indie dreamscape without breaking a sweat.
