Guild M-50 Standard Concert Acoustic Guitar in Antique Burst finish

Finance

Features

Concert Body Shape
The concert-sized body is smaller and less deep than a standard guitar body and is ideal for guitarists who prefer a more compact instrument, including smaller players and those seeking a high-quality travel guitar. Concert-sized guitars are especially suited for fingerstyle guitarists and also popular with singer-songwriters and folk guitarists. Their sound is somewhat more focused than with larger bodies, emphasizing the upper registers, and the M-50 Standard Antique Burst guitar’s forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack spruce top bracing enhances those qualities while also increasing responsiveness. The guitar’s ultra-thin Antique Burst Vintage Gloss nitro lacquer finish has both satin and gloss qualities that highlight the natural beauty of the tonewoods and give it a vintage look and feel.

Premium Tonewoods
The M-50 Standard Antique Burst is meticulously constructed of the finest quality tonewoods. Wood choices and combinations contribute significantly to an acoustic guitar’s sound, and qualities such as hardness, density, and flexible strength distinguish different tonewoods. The M-50 Standard Antique Burst guitar’s solid Indian rosewood back and sides provide a full and rich tone with excellent articulation, while a solid Sitka spruce top adds brightness and a lively response. The guitar’s mahogany neck topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and the Indian rosewood bridge complement the other tonewoods.
