Here to help you write your own story—the Memoir DS-240. This retro-looking slope shoulder dreadnought is built with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides with a sleek, gloss finish. The vintage-inspired mother of pearl rosette and Guild Script Logo pay homage to the classic styling of instruments from the 1920s. The DS-240’s sound is instantly warm, clear and inviting—almost as if its tone has been perfected over years of fireside strumming and family jamming. Guild has earned a solid reputation over the decades as one of America's premier early guitar makers. The company's commitment to quality material and design is forefront with the solid spruce and mahogany on the DS-240 Memoir — a tonewood pairing renowned for its rich, varied voicing and resonance. The slope-shoulder dreadnought body provides big sound and a comfortable playing experience. A NuBone nut and saddle also support great sustain and clarity. And a 1960s red tortoiseshell pickguard lends an even more classic look and vibe. Added visual delight comes by way of a mother-of-pearl rosette and Guild Peak headstock logo.
