Frequently Asked Questions
The Guild’s mahogany back provides a warmer, less overtly bright tone than a typical Martin dreadnought, with a more focused low-midrange presence.
The neck has a vintage 'C' shape; while not overly chunky, it provides a good amount of grip and should be comfortable for most hand sizes.
It’s an ABS ring designed to mimic tortoiseshell; it’s well-executed and visually appealing, but it won’t fool anyone into thinking it’s genuine.
