Guild’s legendary Jumbo body has been the choice of countless artists across musical genres, and this Guild F-240E Westerly model continues the tradition with aplomb. The Satin Natural finish has been applied to the top, back, sides and neck, while Guild’s archback design both increases volume and reduces weight. Below the surface, a discreet Guild/Fishman Sonitone pickup system gives you reliable amplified tone, without interrupting the guitar’s vintage look.

The Guild F-240E is now available from Merchant City Music, online and in our Glasgow store. Every instrument we sell receives a rigorous check over and full professional setup, ensuring you receive the best possible example. We offer fast and secure shipping to the UK, Europe and Worldwide.

Guild F-240E Westerly Archback - Solid Sitka Spruce top with Arched Mahogany back

Offering Guild’s world-renowned Jumbo shape at a player's price, the F-240E is an affordable tone cannon. Built with a solid spruce top, mahogany sides, and an arched mahogany back, the full-bodied and powerful voice of this Guild Jumbo provides guitarists with historically-Guild acoustic tone and voicing.

Guild’s signature arched back design allows for enhanced volume and projection, long sustain, and a lush, full sound. The F240E features Guild’s Fishman-designed AP-1 electronics, a pau ferro fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, mother-of-pearl rosette, period-correct tortoiseshell pickguard, and a satin polyurethane finish.
