In connection with Guild's 70th anniversary in 2023, Guild has released renewed versions of their classic D-40, D-50 and F-40 models and has gathered them in their brand new Standard Series. The new Standard series is positioned just below the flagship D-55 and Traditional models. The D-40 Standard is tailored for guitarists seeking a modern and sophisticated western guitar that embraces an elegant simplicity, distinct from Guild's premium models. With the D-40 Standard, Guild introduces a more down-to-earth version of their dreadnought model, which in addition to "dot" fretboard inlays and an unbound headstock also features Guild's new and innovative Vintage Gloss finish – an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer that has both satin and high-gloss qualities. Guild's Vintage Gloss finish highlights the wood's natural beauty while giving the D-40 Standard a touch of vintage flair, emphasizing the D-50 Standard's understated charm.
The D-50 Standard is built from materials of exceptionally high quality and is crafted by Guild's guitar builders at Guild's factory in California. First-class cuts of spruce and mahogany form the basis for a versatile and dynamic guitar, where the mahogany defines the tone with full, warm, and articulate characteristics. The D-40 Standard's "C"-shaped mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard deliver consistent playability across the entire fretboard. The D-40 Standard is based on a traditional recipe that is based on spruce and mahogany. Its solid grand top in Sitka spruce gives the guitar volume and projection, which, when played softly, becomes more delicate without losing dynamics. The top is supported by a solid mahogany body, which adds a warm foundation and tones down intrusive overtones. This leaves you with a sound that is harmonious and rich, yet remarkably focused. Inside the D-40, the solid top is supported by scalloped and forward-shifted X-bracing in Adirondack spruce X-bracing, which provides excellent note separation and tonal balance.
The D-40 Standard manifests its vintage heritage with high-quality hardware and beautiful adornments. On the headstock, open tuners with a 20:1 ratio are mounted to give the guitar good tuning stability and to facilitate easy and quick tuning. The bone nut and saddle provide optimal contact between the strings and the guitar's body, and the D-40 Standard's nitrocellulose high-gloss finish allows the wood to vibrate and breathe more freely, so that the tone in the guitar has the best chance to mature and develop as the guitar gets older and more played in.
The Guild D-40 Standard is handmade in California and includes a hand-signed, numbered certificate of authenticity and is delivered with a Guild guitar case with a built-in Humicase® climate control system.
