Guild

collapse expand iconDescription

The M-240E Troubadour acoustic-electric guitar is an homage to Guild’s F-20, a small-bodied wonder that became popular during the folk era of the 1960s. This petite guitar is ideal for fingerstyle playing and light strumming. The reduced size is excellent for smaller players or musicians looking for a great sounding travel guitar. The M-240E Troubadour features a solid Sitka spruce top over an arched mahogany back, a classic wood combination that produces a well-balanced voice with plenty of overtones.

Other features of the M-240E Troubadour includes a pau ferro fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, tortoiseshell pickguard, nickel-plated open gear tuners, and a thin, resonate satin polyurethane finish with a vintage sunburst top. Completing the Troubadour’s vintage vibe is the DeArmond Tone Boss, a user-friendly humbucking magnetic soundhole pickup with built-in volume control that is compatible with any amplifier.

Case sold separately.

    My dad has had this guitar for a good amount of time and he just gave me one as my first guitar. It's a great guitar in so many ways.

    I bought this because I liked the ToneBoss pickup and I wanted a cheaper small body that I could use for travel and not worry too much about damaging it. Sounds great out of the box, sounds even better with new strings. No fret buzz, smooth play.

  • This is the perfect guitar for me

    Loving this guitar, nice compact size, big, punchy voice and easy to play. The flat finish is clean look and not fussy (not a fingerprint magnet), the tuners work well, and love the open back vintage look of them. And Guild includes all the allen wrenches and even a screwdriver to make adjustments...how cool. I'm thinking there may be another Guild guitar in my future.

  • Great tone, surprising volume, and just oh so beautiful

    I was not expecting this to sound as rich as it did, with the smaller body - but it really does, maybe it's the sweet arched back that guild is known for? Well it plays great, the open tuners are a classy touch, and I find the pickup really visually appealing - though I admit it really is a matter of preference!! The pickup is maybe a little less loud on my guitar than on an electric or an electric acoustic with under saddle piezo, but I've read that's to be expected given the location and type of pickup. It's only slight noticeable. Overall, very impressed and would recommend.

  • Excellent guitar

    This is the first acoustic guitar that I have ever purchased (after playing an old hand me down for 10 years). I mostly play electric guitars and switching to this feels familiar enough for me to be able to play comfortably. This guitar sounds and plays excellently for the price, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

    Is this solid back and sides too? Or just solid top?
