The Korena take
Guild’s right-handed D-40 Traditional is a U.S.-made 6-string dreadnought in Natural, with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides. Scalloped Adirondack bracing is specified for power, nuance, and responsiveness. Its three-piece mahogany/walnut/mahogany neck uses a dovetail joint and carries an Indian rosewood fingerboard. The guitar ships in a Guild humidified hardshell case and includes a hand-signed, numbered certificate of authenticity. Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer completes the finish.
