OM-240E Westerly Orchestra

American guitar manufacturer Guild has expanded its Westerly Series with the OM-240E Natural: an electro-acoustic steel-string guitar with a snug and shapely triple-O (orchestra) body. Equipped with an AP-1 preamp, this gorgeous guitar rightfully represents Guild's superior sound. The resonance chamber is slightly smaller than that of a dreadnought and shapes a tighter, more direct foundation tone. While ideal for fingerpicking styles, any full chords won't get washed out by the mix either. The Guild OM-240E Natural: Arched Back Responsible for the sound of this Guild OM-240E Natural is a solid Canadian sitka spruce top; a light-coloured high-density wood that brings forth a warm, articulated and sparkling sound with lots of volume to compensate for the lack of the deeper lows of a dreadnought model. The result is a brilliantly balanced foundation sound across the entire frequency range, literally backed by a '50s-style arched back for enhanced projection and longer-lasting sustain. Th
