Guild F-240E Westerly Collection Jumbo Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

Great sound from a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation of iconic acoustic guitars. I tried a few other guitars before making this purchase, but this one checked all the boxes. Their Motto is "Made to be Played" and they aren't kidding. It has a great sound overall.

I looked at a number of acoustics including the Epiphone Hummingbird, Taylor 110, Seagull S6, Yamaha FG series before I settled on the F-240E. I highly recommend sitting down and playing different guitars before purchasing. Sound, comfort, intonation, feel and other things can't be experienced unless you actually play the guitar. The F-240E has a big sound due to the ached back. The finish is great with a solid spruce top, mahogany sides, and mahogany back. It also is just a nice looking guitar. Once the strings were broken in it stays in tune fairly well. I have an amp but haven't plugged it in much because it sounds so good without it.

I was just gifted this guitar and it's a great. For my first acoustic guitar it's perfect i play electric so i'm not a pro in acoustic but it's a really perfect guitar and it's great for worship music.

I have played several Dreadnoughts in the past from brands like Fender, Taylor, and Epiphone. This was my first experience with Guild and honestly, it is an experience that is fulfilling. The F-240 exceeds expectations when it comes to quality, tone, resonance, clarity of notes, ease of playing, and intonation. It keeps tune like a dream and the clarity of notes is what leaves me enthralled/

Very tight tuning pegs, had high tension and made it scary to tune for a beginner like me. Haha. Very nice quality wood, but as a beginner it's kind of hard to play barre chords. Love the jumbo size though. And gorgeous guitar.

A proper set up should always be done.with that being said? This guitar stock plays loud and clean and very resonate. I highly reccomend any guitarist try at least 1 guild guitar.
