Frequently Asked Questions
The scalloped bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, resulting in a noticeable increase in sustain and a more responsive feel.
It’s a subtle refinement, designed to be comfortable for a wider range of players – slightly thinner than some older Guild necks but retaining their characteristic feel.
The D-140 offers a richer, more complex tone with more pronounced low-mids compared to the D-120’s laminate back and sides – a more mature and balanced sound overall.
