collapse expand iconDescription

Guild’s iconic M-20 was the first guitar off the production line in 1967, when the company had grown so much that they relocated to a new factory in Westerly, RI. Nearly 50 years later, history has repeated itself in a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in California. The M-20 is a concert size acoustic guitar built with solid mahogany top, back, and sides, informally nicknamed “the Nick Drake guitar” for its inclusion on the album art for Drake’s album, Bryter Layter.

It features a rosewood bridge and fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and an extremely light satin finish that allows this guitar to truly sing. The M-20’s modest appointments include a vintage style rosette and Guild’s peak logo inlaid in mother-of-pearl on the headstock. Each M-20 comes with a hand-signed, numbered certificate of authenticity, and ships with a hardshell case.

    Nick Drake guitar! How could anyone not like it?! I had high expectations for this bad boy. I thought, "If I can't pick up this guitar and immediately play Things Behind the Sun, I'm gonna cry forever." Well, lemme tell ya — the M-20 plays itself. Didn't even have to learn song. A+

    This guitar has smaller bouts, making it comfortable and easy to play. The rosewood fingerboard feels great, too. The smaller size does not sacrifice as much sound as one would think (of course, it's no dread, but still). Happy to play this one.
