A great workhorse Guild dreadnought, this 1970 Guild D40 is a great example of an early Westerly, Rhode Island manufactured Guild guitar, with this model most famously used by Richie Havens during the opening set of Woodstock in 1969. Constructed from a Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides, this D40 has a rich, warm sound with a great deal of projection. It is also uncharacteristically lightweight compared to many other Guild acoustics of this period. The classic understated D40 look is finished off with a celluloid guard and Guild 'Chesterfield' headstock logo.
This guitar is in good condition, with plenty of play wear to the top around the soundhole and pickguard, along with the rear of the neck. It has benefited from a neck reset by our luthiers ensuring it continues to play as it should for years to come, and is otherwise original and repair free. This guitar also includes its original Guild hard case.
This guitar has been given a full service and appraisal by our luthiers at theVintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 3 year warranty.
