Guild B-240E & B-240EF Fretless Acoustic Bass Demos

Description
Short-Scale Bass Offers Comfortable Playability
With a shorter 30 3/4” scale length, the Guild Jumbo B-240E is a very comfortable and easy acoustic bass guitar to play. Pick it up once and you’ll likely never want to put it down. The slim C-shape neck profile also makes it easier to reach the upper frets. The Guild Jumbo B-240E also features a Pau Ferro fingerboard and bridge, and a bone nut and bone saddle. The package is complete with a natural satin finish.
Spruce and Mahogany Tonewood Combination
The Guild Jumbo B-240E features mahogany back and sides combined with a solid spruce top for acoustic tone that is unmatched. In addition, the Jumbo B-240E features Guild’s signature arched back design, which produces great volume and projection, long sustain, and a lush, full sound.
Fishman Electronics Amplify Your Acoustic Sound
The Guild Jumbo B-240E features onboard Fishman electronics to amplify that full acoustic tone. When you really want to be heard, just connect your Guild to your favorite amplifier, PA system or recording DAW and play away. A case is sold separately.

This guitar, where do I start. IT BLOWS MY MIND! I am a solo artist, I play folk/rock/singer songwriter type stuff and this guitar took my sound to a whole other level. It's been noticed by untrained ears in the audience even! It's rich, full, incredible depth of low end and mids and even nice rich high end is absolutely gorgeous for any genre. The included pick up works perfectly and doesn't buzz or sound cheap. It has volume and tone controls inside the sound hole so you still have that gorgeous look of a jumbo body guild. And that takes me to the look of it, it is truly beautiful. The turtle shell pick guard, the jumbo body shape, the inlay, the wood grain of the spruce top and mahogany sides gives this guitar a gorgeous satin natural looking finish. I recommend this guitar to any one who wants a full, rich, gorgeous tone while also looking incredible. 10/10. Thank you GUILD!
