Guild BT-240E Baritone Acoustic, Natural - Nearly New Overview
The Guild BT-240E Acoustic is a guitar that offers deep and enticing tones. Shaped in Guild's famously large F-Jumbo shape and featuring a pressed back construction, you can expect extraordinarily deep harmonics and a rich sonic character from the BT-240E. It's created by a blend of Sitka spruce and mahogany tonewoods to create a fully realised frequency spectrum, from the syrupy lows right up to the glistening highs.
And on the playing side of things it only gets better! An extended scale length and smooth mahogany neck affords you plenty of room to express yourself, with a lower tuning of B-E-A-D-F#-b to offer you a unique approach to your songs. And if you need to perform for a crowd or make recording easier, the BT-240E is equipped with class-leading Fishman electronics to amplify your natural acoustic tone. Whether you're looking to back up an acoustic mix with low-end boom, or take your music in a new direction, the unique charm and quality of the BT-240E will help you stand out.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionExquisitely detailed tones
Mahogany and Sitka spruce is a tried and tested sonic combination. Mahogany creates a warm, super rich low end that perfectly complements the baritone scale length. And while the mahogany provides the bass rich warmth, the Sitka spruce articulates each note in pristine clarity, in addition to giving your high-end snap and sparkle.
Project your sound
If you're playing acoustically, you're going to be heard in detail. And that's thanks to the Sitka spruce top and its underpinned OX bracing which articulate your notes in stunning clarity. With spruce's natural sonority focused by the OX bracing shape, you'll be able to pick out the sound of each string in a mix.
Combine these with the large F-Jumbo and you'll enjoy a clear voice with tonnes of volume, so even if you're playing unplugged you'll have no trouble being heard!
Take your sound further with Fishman electronics
Whether you're performing or recording, you can do it with ease thanks to the Fishman Sonitone GT-1 electronics. These retain all the natural characteristics of your acoustics thanks to its under saddle design that scoops up every vibration and detail of your playing.
