Guild DS-240 Memoir Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Vintage Sunburst
The Guild DS-240 Memoir, a slope-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar inspired by instruments from the 1920s. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the DS-240 Memoir produces a full, balanced tone that evokes memories of gatherings around the fire. Its vintage esthetics, including a mother-of-pearl rosette and Guild's signature script logo, transport players to a simpler time. The DS-240 Memoir's tone seems instantly aged and perfected, as if it's been passed down through generations of music-makers.
Solid Woods Create a Lifetime of Tonal Evolution
The DS-240 Memoir's solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide a resonant, woody tone that blossoms over years of playing. As the woods age and settle, the tone becomes richer, warmer and more complex. The combination of spruce and mahogany is a hallmark of classic American acoustics, producing a balanced frequency range with articulate highs, warm mids and full low end.
Vintage-Inspired Esthetics Transport Players to Another Era
With a mother-of-pearl rosette, tortoiseshell pickguard and Guild's script logo, the DS-240 Memoir is a vision of craftsmanship from the 1920s. Its satin finish allows the natural beauty of the tonewoods to shine through, while the slope-shoulder body shape harkens back to an earlier Guild design. The vintage-inspired esthetics, along with the DS-240 Memoir's aged tone, provide an immersive experience of a simpler time.
Comfortable Playability Keeps Music Makers Inspired
A comfortable C-shaped mahogany neck and pau ferro fingerboard keep players' hands happy during long sessions. The neck has a familiar, mainstream feel, while the fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface. Together, they enable effortless slides, bends and chord changes so musicians can lose themselves in the music.
