Guild Westerly Collection Guild OM-240CE, Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Indian Rosewood
Player's Perspective
The single-cutaway OM-240CE solid spruce-top gem of an acoustic with a robust voice and great projection. Modestly priced at under $500, the sound that comes out of this guitar would have you think it was in the $1500 - $2000 range. It's a focused, direct sound that has a way of leaping out of the guitar, but it's also quite sensitive to playing dynamics. The nuance and separation makes it an ideal choice for fingerpickers, but the smooth low-end will satisfy the open-position folk strummer as well. Acoustic blues and slide sounds are a great match for this acoustic's formidable but clear mid-range. A great pickup system and a comfortable neck make this the kind of guitar you want with you on stage. This is a smart buy for anyone who's looking for a powerful acoustic under the $500 mark.
Special Features
This mid-sized orchestra shaped acoustic is equally suited for strumming and fingerpicking, and produces a sweet, balanced tone. The perfect choice for the versatile musician, the OM-240CE features a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany sides, arched mahogany back, and an elegant cutaway for access to higher frets. Guild’s signature arched back design allows for great volume and projection, long sustain, and a lush, full sound. The OM-240CE features Guild’s AP-1 pickup, an Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, pearloid rosette, period-correct tortoiseshell pickguard, and a matte polyurethane finish. This model also includes Guild’s new lightweight deluxe gig bag.
