Increasingly popular among fingerstylists and the American Primitive crowd, the Guild D-40 has earned loyal fans for decades as a solid dreadnought alternative to Martin and Gibson options. Vintage specimens (1963 - 1992) offer the deep, woody resonance of aged wood at reasonable prices while the modern reissue (2006 - present) still offers incredible value, some with factory-installed pickups. Built like a tank with a sound perfect for the campfire or porch, the Bluegrass Jubilee is an American classic.
