    Here to help you write your own story—the Memoir DS-240. This retro-looking slope shoulder dreadnought is built with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides with a sleek, gloss finish. The vintage-inspired mother of pearl rosette and Guild Script Logo pay homage to the classic styling of instruments from the 1920s. The DS-240's sound is instantly warm, clear and inviting—almost as if its tone has been perfected over years of fireside strumming and family music-making.

    Over delivers on all expectations

    I have heard for years that Guild made an acoustic guitar such that the intonation, tone & volume were rich and earthy, with a deep renosanince that, while showing off it's lows never sacrifices the mids or highs. A lot of acoustic guitars need time to to age to get to this level but this guitar was...

    Very nice player!

    It's got the typical and beautiful Guild workmanship, and it is very well finished. And for the price on this sloper, it can't be beat. I have two of these guitars.

    Fantastic Guitar

    Very good guitar, especially for the price. Excellent quality on fit and finish. The tone is very good for finger picking. Guild guitars are very under rated, but one of best consitant guitars you can own. This guitar is better than most of the ones I own. Intonation is perfect. I can play up and do...
