An affordable J-45-style slope shoulder dreadnought that punches way above its weight!
Fantastic guitar for the money. In fact, may be the best sub $1000 guitar that I’ve ever played. You would not know based on the tones this guitar produces that it has a laminate back and sides. Handles both fingerstyle and aggressive strumming with impressive dynamic range. In fact, I’d venture to say that it matches the Gibson J-45 Standard in just about every category but the high end (could use a little more in that department, but definitely not a deal breaker). Guild was going for a vintage vibe here, and the construction, styling and finishing touches are spot on. Mine did require a truss rod adjustment and a slight shave off the saddle out of the box due to a few upper fret dead spots and an action that was a little higher than I like, but was a relatively cheap and easy fix. Long story short, if you’re looking for a high quality slope shouldered dread but don't make C-suite money… look no further.

Fantastic guitar!
After visiting local stores and ordering and returning two other guitars, I decided to try one more time and ordered this Guild DS240 and I am so glad I did! It sounds awesome and is very playable! It is well made and looks great! A perfect addition to my musical family!

Great guitar
I have owned Yamaha and Ibenez acoustic guitars. This Guild DS-240 is definitely a notch up in quality of sound.

What a Great Deal!
There are lots of pictures of this guitar online, but check out Alamo Music on youtube and watch Cooper Greenberg playing it. This guitar is very capable. On top of that , it's even more beautiful than I thought it would be. It's difficult to see in pictures but the headstock logo is inlaid mother of pearl and so is the rosette . The Tobacco burst with its high gloss finish is simply beautiful. The playability is so nice with low action and the tone is lovely. You can tell someone actually did a set up on it, and with a 24.75 inch scale its very comfortable to play. It is an understated yet elegant guitar. If someone didn't know the cost of it, they would assume it was much more expensive than what it is. You Don't need to spend a fortune for a great Guitar!

Awesome Guitar
I own 18 acoustic guitars and this Guild goes head to head with my Martin. Very good value for the price. Not to mention, it is beautiful and is very comfortable to play. Very balanced sound.

Incredible Value
I've never been more pleased with a guitar purchase except perhaps my 016 Strat or my 77 LP. I've owned a Gib^&* G45 at three times the cost, and as soon as I laid my hands on this Guild, I sold off that other guitar and this became my number one. Now I know the 45 is a classic dating back to pre-WWI years, but they are still being made today, and are not cheap despite using some very basic materials in manufacture. This Guild is everything those guitars are and more. The neck is fast and easy, the top is extremely resonant with just the right amount of lo-mid-high balance, the finish is a beautiful gloss that shines up like a mirror, yet the neck is matte to avoid stickiness. I just love the look and aesthetic of the slope shoulder design; It doesn't feel like a dreadnaught, yet has the voicing of one. If you are in the market for one of these and can't decide between the Gib*&^ and the Guild, I say pop for the Guild. They are the best kept guitar secret out there, and if Guilds are good enough for Fahey, they're good enough for me!

This guitar sounds incredible
My guitar was delivered on time. No damage. Tuned right up. Intonation perfect. No string buzz. Action is good. I would of liked a padded gig bag for the price I paid other then that I got a quality guitar. No complaints

This thing roars.
I'm getting a lot of use from this guitar. It literally roars when chorded. Rhythm tracks have good bottom, without a twangy top end. I highly recommend Guild as a rule, and feel lucky I came across this limited edition guitar when it was released. You really can't beat the sound for the price.
