Guild DS-240e Memoir Acoustic-electric Guitar - Black, Solid Spruce Top, Mahogany Back & Sidesr - Black (DS240E)

Equipped with a DeArmond Tone Boss soundhole pickup, the Guild DS-240e Memoir harkens back to the raw and rustic age when guitarists plugged their acoustics straight into their tube amps. It all starts on a top-class acoustic foundation, featuring a solid spruce top and gorgeous mahogany back and sides — a wonderful tonewood combination that produces stellar high and midrange tones with rich bass response. In addition, a comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck with a pau ferro fingerboard is highly responsive and playable. Scalloped X-bracing further enhances the tone and durability of the DS-240e, giving you years of playing and improved tone over time. All in all, the DS-240e Memoir perfectly captures the retro flair and warm, balanced tone of the iconic slope-shouldered dreads of yore while simultaneously offering an accessible and attitude-packed entryway into the world of acoustic-electric amplification.
