With excellent projection and volume (as expectred from a dreadnaught guitar), this Guild D-140 also displays excellent definition and attack which makes it sound great for a much wider variety of styles than most guitars of this design.
Or, as Guild put it:
“This full-bodied and powerful dreadnought provides guitarists with a classic acoustic sound and balanced voicing from its all-solid tonewoods. Solid Sitka spruce for the top and solid African Mahogany for the back and sides are a prime combination, scalloped bracing and rosewood fingerboard and bridge give this instrument a punch and tonality that define the Guild sound.”
