The AO-5CE is a performance-driven orchestra-style model that
features Guild’s signature arched-back body design. The solid Sitka
spruce top, laminated rosewood sides and arched back give this
small-body guitar a full, balanced sound with excellent volume and
projection.
The slim satin-finish mahogany neck and larger medium jumbo frets
give it a smooth, comfortable feel and effortless playability.
Fingerstyle players will appreciate the extra string spacing that the 1
¾” nut width provides, while the cutaway body design offers easy
access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard. The onboard Fishman®
Presys Plus pickup system offers a host of performer-friendly features,
including an onboard electronic tuner and anti-feedback control.
