WNAMM13: More New Guild Guitars

Arcos and GAD series extended   30-Jan-13

Guild has announced several new models in the Arcos and GAD series. Here's the details in their own words...

The AD-5CE dreadnought features Guild's signature arched-back body design and is designed for pure performance. The solid Sitka spruce top, laminated rosewood sides and arched back give it a full, balanced sound with excellent volume and projection. The slim satin-finish mahogany neck and larger medium jumbo frets give it a smooth, comfortable feel and effortless playability, while the cutaway body design invites you to venture into the upper regions of the rosewood fingerboard.

The Fishman Presys Plus pickup system rounds out the performance package with a host of performer-friendly features including an onboard electronic tuner and anti-feedback control. Other premium features include a bone nut and saddle, koa rosette, pearl inlays, hand-rubbed satin finish, dual-action truss rod and bolt-on neck construction. Guild lightweight polyfoam case included.
