Guild redefined acoustic bass guitars in the mid-1970s with the introduction of the B-50, based on Guild’s classic jumbo shape. The B-140E Natural continues this tradition, delivering an impressively rich tone that can be easily amplified with its Guild/Fishman BT-1 pickup system.

Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides, the B-140E Natural features a bone nut and saddle, and an abalone rosette. This model also has a 1½” nut width on a vintage-shaped Guild neck, an iconic Chesterfield headstock emblem reminiscent of Guilds from the 1960s, an authentic tortoiseshell pickguard, and the new Guild premium acoustic gig bag.

About mahogany
