The Guild D-240E Westerly Archback Electro Acoustic is perfect if you're a lefty who wants a bold, full-bodied dreadnought sound. Its classic dreadnought shape delivers deep lows, crisp highs, and a broad dynamic range that suits strumming, flatpicking, and everything in between. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top, this guitar produces a vibrant tone that opens up beautifully over time. The pairing of mahogany sides and Guild’s signature arched mahogany back gives it a rich, warm character with outstanding projection and long-lasting sustain. This construction method eliminates the need for a back bracing system, allowing the back to resonate more freely and add extra depth to the sound.
Playability is a priority with the D-240E LH, thanks to its comfortable mahogany neck carved into a versatile C-shape profile. From fretting open chords to exploring lead lines higher up the neck, the 16-inch Pau Ferro fingerboard radius and 25.5-inch scale length offer a smooth, familiar feel under your fingers. The satin polyurethane finish enhances the neck’s comfort and speed, while maintaining the natural aesthetic of the wood. With 20 frets and dot inlays made from mother-of-pearl, it’s easy to navigate the fingerboard. This thoughtful design lets you focus on your playing without distraction.
Equipped with the Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system, the D-240E LH is ready for the stage or studio. This discreet undersaddle pickup is designed to deliver a faithful reproduction of the guitar’s natural acoustic voice. With volume and tone controls mounted just inside the soundhole, you get intuitive access to your amplified sound without compromising the guitar’s clean, vintage-inspired look. The system captures the warmth and clarity of the spruce and mahogany tonewood combination, making it perfect for recording sessions or band setups where you'll need to get your sound across.
Visually, the D-240E LH reflects Guild’s heritage of understated elegance and quality craftsmanship. A tortoiseshell pickguard, mother-of-pearl rosette, and ivory ABS binding give the guitar a vintage-inspired appearance that stands out without being flashy. Hardware choices like open-gear Guild Vintage 16 tuners and a compensated bone saddle contribute to both tone and tuning stability, while Pau Ferro is used for both the bridge and fingerboard to ensure tonal integrity and long-term durability. It’s a guitar that looks as good as it sounds - crafted with care to offer timeless aesthetics and dependable performance.
