Overview

Fishman's awesome electronics in a small but powerful body.

The vintage-style Guild GAD-F20E Acoustic-Electric Guitar is crafted with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. To enhance the GAD series guitar, Guild adds flame maple binding, a mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, a bone nut and saddle, and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. A Fishman Matrix under-saddle pickup delivers the signal to your amplifier through an endpin jack.

Built on a concert body style, the GAD-F20E guitar's design minimizes overtones, boomy bass, and reverberation. The result is more focused sound projection in a slightly smaller body size than a dreadnought guitar.

While particularly well suited for fingerpicking, the concert guitar body fits into any musical setting. The solid spruce top contributes balance in tone, and the solid mahogany back and sides offer crisp attack with plenty of projection right from the get-go.

The Guild guitar's rosewood bridge and fretboard produce lasting sustain. Genuine Grover vintage-style chrome-plated open-back tuners offer precise tuning.

Other unique features of the Guild GAD-F20E guitar include 24-3/4" scale length, 13-3/4" lower bout width, flamed maple binding, dovetail neck joint, scalloped spruce braced top, mother-of-pearl headstock logo, mother-of-pearl dot position inlays, cream colored bridge pins with black dots, bone nut and saddle, tortoise shell pickguard, and a factory installed forward strap button with internally braced support.

Dressed in a high-gloss polyester finish, the GAD-F20E acoustic-electric will instantly become a favorite in your guitar collection.

Acoustic Matrix VT Undersaddle Pickup System
Guild chose the Fishman classic Acoustic Matrix Natural I preamp for the added benefit of ergonomic, soundhole-mounted rotary Volume and Tone.

The Fishman Matrix preamp is equipped with the tried-and-true flagship Acoustic Matrix pickup. Most of the preamp's components are discretely housed within the guitar's body, eliminating the obtrusive preamp hole typically cut into the side of an acoustic-electric guitar.

Guild Acoustic Design (GAD) series guitars are designed to be the right musical tool for the job. High-quality, all-solid wood guitars, they offer you an exceptional value.

Now you can experience the legendary sound of a Guild at a more affordable price than ever, and get a guitar capable of crafting your perfect performance.
