NAMM 2019: Guild’s 200 Series Expands to Include Exotic Woods

This winter, Guild is adding four new arched back models to their popular 200 Series lineup. Guild’s first arched back model appeared in the mid-1950s, a feature that’s become synonymous with the brand ever since; it’s fitting, then, that 2016’s initial launch of a line of updated and affordable arched back guitars has been hugely successful and highly popular.

This winter, the 200 Series will expand to include four new models featuring exotic woods: the dreadnought D-260E & D-260CE with striped ebony back and sides, and the jumbo F-250E and F-250CE with flamed maple back and sides. The arched back design allows for great volume and projection, long sustain, and a lush, full sound. These models all feature solid spruce tops, gloss finishes, pau ferro fingerboards and bridges, Guild AP-1 electronics and optional cutaways. Guild continues to play to its strengths while upholding the same commitment to quality and sound the brand has always been known for.

F-250CE Deluxe – $599 Street • $830 MSRP

D-260E Deluxe – $549 Street • $760 MSRP
