The Guild GAD-40C has the world’s most popular acoustic body shape; one that has been used for more than 70 years.
To accommodate modern playing styles, we added a Venetian cutaway for easy access to higher registers. The guitar features a solid mahogany back and sides, a solid spruce top with scalloped bracing and a one-piece mahogany neck with traditional dovetail neck joint. Other features include an Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, ebony pearl dot-inlayed bridge pins and strap buttons, classic pearl fingerboard inlays, wood binding, bone nut and bone compensated saddle, Grover Rotomatic® tuners and a wooden arched case.
