The GUILD B-240E acoustic BassNatural from the Westerly Collection follows the legacy of the legendary GUILD B50 bass guitar from the seventies and follows the classic jumbo construction for full sounds with detailed low end. The voluminous body of the B-240E here is traditionally composed of mahogany in the back and sides and is finished with a tonewood top made of solid Sitka spruce, and thanks to Scalloped X bracing it provides a balanced response with smooth Attack and long sustain. Neck and nut are designed for easy playability in all registers with 30.75 inch Shortscale scale length and slim C neck profile, making the GUILD B-240E acoustic Bass ideal for beginners as well.
With its Fishman Sonitone pickup system adapted to the low frequencies of the bass, the B-240E can also be easily used amplified for performances, jams and rehearsals or even professional recording purposes.
