Guild Announces New Arcos & GAD Series Instruments


Scottsdale, AZ (January 24, 2013) – Guild is proud to announce several new models in the popular Arcos and GAD series to be featured at the 2013 NAMM Show.

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.

I purchased an M-120 a few months back and it's a really great sounding, small bodies guitar. I was looking for an affordable mahogany guitar and the all mahogany Guild fits the bill! in price, playability and sound
