Frequently Asked Questions
The D240 will be a bit less nuanced and complex than the D40, which typically uses richer tonewoods, but it still delivers that core Guild sound.
Pau Ferro is generally stable and less prone to drying than some rosewood varieties, but regular conditioning is still recommended to maintain its feel and appearance.
The AP-1 is decent, but feedback can be an issue at higher volumes; careful gain staging and potentially a notch filter may be needed depending on the venue.
