Guild DS-240 Memoir DS Serie Acoustic Guitar – Vintage Sunburst

With the warm, welcoming tones of the Guild DS-240 Memoir Vintage Sunburst acoustic, every performance will be one to remember. Here to help you write your own story—the DS-240 Memoir acoustic guitars. These beautiful retro-looking slope shoulder dreadnoughts are built with solid Sitka Spruce tops and Mahogany backs and sides, featuring a satin polyurethane finish. Their vintage-inspired Mother-of-Pearl rosette and Guild Script Logo pay homage to the classic styling of instruments from the 1930s. The DS-240 offers an instantly warm, clear, and inviting sound—almost as if its tone has been perfected over years of fireside strumming and family jamming. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this dreadnought features a scalloped X-bracing pattern, compensated bone saddle, and rosewood fingerboard with Mother-of-Pearl inlays. The C-shaped mahogany neck and Guild Vintage 18 open gear tuning machines ensure reliable tuning stability and smooth playability.
