Guild USA D-20 Natural

The all-mahogany dreadnought-sized D-20 Natural acoustic guitar is handcrafted in the USA* and features an elegant Natural satin nitro finish. 

DREADNOUGHT BODY SHAPE

A perennial favorite of flatpickers and strummers and the most recognizable body shape by far, the dreadnought dates back more than a century, with Guild introducing its first dreadnoughts in the early 1960s. Characterized by square shoulders, a wide waist, and a relatively flat lower bout, dreadnought guitars are renowned for their robust lows, punchy mids, crisp highs, and powerful projection—and the D-20 Natural guitar’s forward-shifted scalloped Sitka spruce top bracing enhances those qualities while also increasing overall responsiveness. The ultra-thin Natural satin nitro lacquer finish highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods and gives the instrument a worn-in vintage look.

PREMIUM TONEWOODS

The D-20 Natural 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 D-20 Natural guitar’s solid African mahogany top, back, and sides give it a warm, rich, and resonant sound, while its mahogany neck topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and the Indian rosewood bridge complement the other tonewoods.

* As with virtually all guitars crafted in USA factories, Guild USA guitars are made in part from imported, carefully-curated tonewoods and hardware.
