Overview
Couches, small stages and travel bags suit the Guild small body guitar, a folk era style with an unlaminated spruce top over an arched mahogany back. A Fishman preamp lets it plug straight into an amp or PA.
A comfortable small body with an unlaminated top and pickup makes it easy to play and easy to carry. The small size limits low end and volume for heavy strumming.
Who it's for
Made for fingerpickers, smaller players and anyone wanting a travel friendly guitar. Bluegrass flatpickers needing bass punch should look at a larger body.
Pros and cons
- Unlaminated Sitka spruce top
- Compact, comfortable body
- Fishman pickup system
- Bone nut and saddle
- Less bass than larger bodies
- Case not listed
- Top wood conflicts in specs
Performance notes
Tone comes from the unlaminated spruce top over an arched back, which projects without internal back bracing. A smaller body favors mids and clarity over deep bass. The preamp sends the piezo signal through a standard jack.
