The Guild D-40 is a mahogany dreadnought model that was born in 1963. It became widely popular as one of Guild's representative models. It is also known for being used by Richie Havens at the Woodstock Festival, and is an interesting presence when talking about the history of American acoustic guitars.

It features a powerful mid-low range and clear high range characteristic of Guild, and when strummed, chords ring out as a solid whole, and when arpeggios, it produces a deep and nuanced sound. It is a model that has been supported by many artists regardless of genre.

There are signs of use commensurate with its age, such as dents and scratches throughout, but all of these are within a range that can be fully enjoyed as part of the vintage character. The finish, which has changed to an amber color over many years, and the moist texture characteristic of lacquer finishes from that era are also appealing, and it has a presence that conveys the history of being cherished and played over the years.

The string height is set a little high, but this can be seen as a characteristic of vintage guitars of this era.

This is a rare vintage Guild from the Westerly era. It is a guitar that is appealing for its rugged sound that cannot be reproduced in current Guilds.
