Description
The Guild Westerly B-140E takes the legacy of the iconic Guild jumbo shape and reinvents it for the modern era, delivering a robust and resonant acoustic bass experience. Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and African mahogany back and sides, this bass offers a warm, rich tonal palette that can fill any room. The Fishman Sonitone Bass pickup ensures that your sound remains clear and powerful when amplified, making it perfect for both stage and studio settings.
The B-140E features an Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, offering smooth playability and excellent sustain. Its 1-3/4" nut width on a mahogany neck provides comfort and stability, while the classic Chesterfield headstock emblem nods to Guild's vintage roots. With period-correct details like a tortoiseshell pickguard and a pristine mother-of-pearl rosette, this bass is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive.
Whether you're laying down the groove in an intimate acoustic set or amping up for a lively performance, the B-140E delivers the versatility and quality needed by any serious musician.
