{"product_id":"guild-m-40e-troubadour-natural-w-case","title":"Guild M-40E Troubadour Natural w. Case","description":"During the folk music golden age in the 1960s, the Guild F-20 could be seen everywhere, from Greenwich Village to Woodstock. With the M-40E Troubadour, made at Guild’s factory in Oxnard, USA, Guild has now decided to make this historic western guitar available once again. It was designed by Guild’s leading guitar builder Ren Ferguson (formerly of Gibson) with traditional X-bracing and other refinements, such as a fully solid body and open vintage tuning pegs. The M-40E Troubadour’s smaller concert body, with a solid Sitka spruce top and African mahogany back and sides, delivers a balanced tone that is perfect for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. When you plug the M-40E into an amplifier, the built-in LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system ensures that the guitar’s natural tone is amplified flawlessly. The bridge and fretboard are made of East Indian rosewood, while the nut and saddle are, of course, made of bone. A vintage rosette and a thin satin finish give the M-40E a timeless, played-in look that enhances its understated elegance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Guild M-40E Troubadour comes with LR Baggs’ popular Element VTC active pickup system built in. The pickup system is built around a low-profile pickup located under the saddle and a preamp with a removable volume control, which is mounted inside the soundhole for easy access. This sleek and efficient design eliminates the need for unnecessary internal components and improves the connection between the pickup and the guitar, providing a robust, vibrant, and natural amplified sound with excellent dynamics and delicate highs. The Element VTC is powered by a standard 9V battery located inside the guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Guild M-40E Troubadour includes an original Guild guitar case as well as a hand-signed certificate of authenticity.","brand":"Guild Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53752918966610,"sku":"GUILD-385-1404-821","price":16499.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/9256\/6610\/files\/guild-m-40e-troubadour-natural-westernguitar.jpg?v=1781517895","url":"https:\/\/akustikken.dk\/en\/products\/guild-m-40e-troubadour-natural-w-case","provider":"Akustikken","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
