Guild B-240E Fretless Jumbo Acoustic/Electric Bass - Natural - B-Stock

In the mid-1970s, Guild pioneered acoustic bass guitar design with the introduction of the B-50 model, which featured a jumbo body shape, arched mahogany back, and an easy-to-play, 30 3/4” scale length. The guild has reintroduced these vintage features with the new Westerly Collection B-240E Fretless, offering bassists a workhorse acoustic instrument with a big tone that plays with ease. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top over an arched mahogany back and mahogany sides, the B-240E Fretless boasts an impressively loud tone that will hold its own during most acoustic jams. It can also be easily amplified with its onboard Guild/Fishman BT-1 Pickup System. The B-240E Fretless features a fretless Pau Ferro fingerboard with maple fret lines, providing a spectrum of sounds ranging from a mellow upright bass vibe to bright and growly Jazz fusion tones. This model also features a pau ferro bridge, slim C-shaped neck profile, 1 5/8” bone nut and bone saddle, tortoiseshell pickguard, and a mother-of-pearl rosette. Available in a Natural satin finish.
