Guild OM-250E Limited-Edition Archback Westerly Collection Orchestra Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The Guild OM-250E limited-edition archback acoustic-electric guitar cleverly fuses tradition with innovation. This mid-sized orchestra model features Guild's specialized archback design, which uses the construction techniques of archtop guitars to draw the sides and back into a subtle arch. The result is improved projection and volume from the body's optimized resonance chamber. And by eliminating back bracing, the archback reduces weight while boosting resonance and sustain. You'll feel the acoustic power of Guild's archback design when you strum or pick the OM-250E.
