Overview
A slope-shoulder body shape gives the DS-240 its 1920s styling, matched with a mother of pearl rosette and the Guild script logo. The top is spruce over mahogany back and sides, finished in a gloss vintage sunburst.
The retro look and the warm, clear tone suit fireside strumming and family jams. The limitation is that there is no pickup, and the warranty covers electronics, hardware and cases for a shorter period.
Who it's for
Singer-songwriters, home players and campfire strummers who value a classic slope-shoulder profile and an unplugged sound. Anyone who needs onboard electronics will need to add a pickup or choose another model.
Pros and cons
- Slope shoulder vintage styling

Performance notes
A spruce top vibrates freely while mahogany back and sides add warmth, and the slope-shoulder shape gives a rounded low end. Phosphor bronze strings bring a warm, clear voice with a balanced profile.
