Guild D-40 Traditional Sitka/Mahogany Natural Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar #0467

The Guild D-40 Traditional is built for players who love the feel and sound of a no-frills, all-solid wood dreadnought that’s ready to go to work. With a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides, this guitar delivers a punchy, articulate tone with warm lows, a strong midrange, and the kind of dynamic headroom you want when flatpicking or strumming hard. It’s got that vintage Guild sound—dry, balanced, and clear across all six strings. The D-40 features scalloped X-bracing, a gloss nitrocellulose finish, and classic tortoiseshell binding and pickguard that give it a clean, traditional aesthetic. The mahogany neck with walnut center strip has a familiar C-shape that feels comfortable from the first chord, and the Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge add a smooth, focused feel under the fingers. Whether you’re tracking rhythm in the studio or holding down a tune in a bluegrass circle, the D-40 Traditional is built to do the job—and sound great doing it.
