Acoustic-electric guitars from Guild last a lifetime
The Arcos series of acoustic-electric guitars features the sound and playability Guild is celebrated for while being kind to your budget. Designed to satisfy the tone-hungry and the playability hounds in one acoustic-electric guitar, Guild's Arcos series features a solid Sitka spruce top, rosewood fingerboards and bridges, bone nuts and saddles, and Fishman Presys Plus electronics. The Arcos guitars are showcases with elegant koa rosettes, rosewood headcap, and pearl dot inlay appointments. To protect your instrument, each guitar in the Arcos series comes with a Guild-branded soft-side case.

Double-duty wood decisions for strength and sound
Guild chose woods for the AO-3CE that not only sound great but had the strength to ensure your guitar lasts a lifetime. To provide you an acoustic-electric guitar you'll play forever, Guild employs solid top and laminated side construction for superior strength. Together, spruce and mahogany make for a harmonically rich, full acoustic guitar tone. The solid Sitka spruce top is responsive, clear, and articulate. For the back and sides, they harnessed the properties of laminated mahogany, yielding warmth and depth of tone.

Signature Arched-back design gives volume and projection
Playing the AO-3CE is like playing a bit of history. It was in the 1950s when Guild presented the acoustic-guitar-playing world with their signature, arched-back body design. This new innovation enhanced volume and projection and added solidity to the overall build of their acoustic guitars. It's innovations like these that keep Guild acoustic guitars in the hands of artists from Doyle Dykes to the Neon Trees.
