Guild DS-240 Memoir Acoustic Guitar – Vintage Sunburst

Guild DS-240 Memoir Acoustic Guitar – Vintage Sunburst

The Guild DS-240 Memoir is a beautifully designed, incredibly playable acoustic guitar at a great price. It features 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. A gloss finish on the mahogany back and sides lets its natural coloring pop. 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-240, giving you years of playing and improved tone over time. All in all, the DS-240 Memoir perfectly captures the retro flair and warm, balanced tone of the iconic slope-shouldered dreads of yore, representing an ideal 6-string option for singer/songwriters, country pickers, fingerstyle players, and scores of other styles.

Dynamic solid spruce top

Ask any of our acoustic aficionados, and they’ll tell you that the top is instrumental in determining the tone and response of a 6-string. Thankfully, the Guild DS-240 Memoir starts off on the right foot with a solid spruce top, ensuring a touch-sensitive dynamic range and a clear, articulate tonality. To complete this guitar’s classic slope-shouldered, short-scale formula, the DS-240 sports mahogany back and sides. The result is the dry, thumping voice so favored among slope-shouldered fanatics, providing a well-balanced tone that tackles strumming, fingerpicking, and flatpicking duties with equal aplomb.

Guild: an icon of the 6-string world

Guild has earned a solid reputation over the decades as one of America’s premier early guitar makers. The company’s commitment to quality material and design is at the forefront, with the DS-240 Memoir sporting a classic slope-shouldered dreadnought body design to deliver big sound and a comfortable playing experience. A bone nut and compensated bone saddle also support great sustain and clarity. And a tortoiseshell pickguard lends an even more classic look and vibe. Added visual delight comes from a mother-of-pearl rosette and Guild Script headstock logo.
