Guild D-340 Acoustic Guitar (Natural)

Guild’s D-340 dreadnought acoustic guitar proudly brings the lush tones and powerful playing feel of higher-level acoustics within the reach of guitarists of all budgets and experience levels. Its solid spruce top and laminate mahogany back and sides greet 6-stringers with an extraordinarily bright and balanced foundation at the body that resonates with beautiful appeal. The rosewood-topped mahogany neck provides remarkable sustain for every element of your playing, from momentous chord progressions and inspiring lead lines to expressive soloing. Plus, acoustic vets here love how the modestly priced D-340 comes loaded with vintage-inspired charm from head to toe! Body purfling, a charming rosette, a black tortoiseshell pickguard design, and Vintage 16 open-gear tuning machines add a handsome old-school appeal that will have musicians of every generation smiling.

Magnificent spruce and mahogany tone

Boasting a larger X-braced dreadnought body, the D-340 prioritizes projection for a lovely full sound that isn’t hard for anyone within earshot to appreciate. To complement, the balanced and articulate nature of its Sitka spruce top delivers a natural tone that is perfect for both recording and performing. Paired with laminate mahogany back and sides, it provides plenty of resonance for rounding out your acoustic sound. Plus, with its genuine solid top construction, the true organic energy of Sitka spruce is unveiled in spades!

Impressive sustain with a comfy feel

Just as important as your 6-string’s sound is its feel and ability to accommodate your playing style — and the D-340 scores a perfect 10. The mahogany neck works with a flatter 16-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard to create the perfect playing platform for maximizing sustain and translating every tune with phenomenal note integrity. The neck also boasts a traditional “C”-shaped profile, encouraging a comfortable grasp for lengthy practice sessions and hours of music making.

Solid player with plenty of charm

Look closer, and you’ll see plenty of smaller details that make the D-340 both a fetching 6-string and a fantastic player. Keeping your tuning in check is a set of Guild’s Vintage 16 open-gear tuning machines, offering fine stability, 16:1 gear ratio adjustability, and a bygone vibe that marvelously complements the rest of the instrument. A genuine bone nut promotes natural string response, while elements like a black tortoiseshell pickguard, an elegant 3-ring rosette, body purfling, and Guild’s iconic Peak headstock inlay encapsulate this guitar’s excellent blend of playability and historic charm.
