The Guild Story: From a Manhattan Workshop to Woodstock
Guild was founded in 1952–1953 by New York guitarist and music-store owner Alfred Dronge. The first workshop on Pearl Street in Manhattan gathered experienced craftsmen from the Epiphone factory, and Guild's earliest archtops quickly won over jazz guitarists. In 1967 production moved to Westerly, Rhode Island — the 34 "Westerly years" are considered the brand's golden era.
That's when Guild became the voice of the folk and rock generation: Richie Havens opened Woodstock 1969 on a Guild D-40 dreadnought; Paul Simon, Nick Drake, John Denver, Stephen Stills, and Bob Marley played Guild acoustics; and the Starfire semi-hollows were chosen by Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead and Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane. Guild's signature features are the arched back, which adds volume and projection, and the "Chesterfield" headstock inlay.
Today Guild is part of the Yamaha Guitar Group (via Córdoba Music Group). Flagship M, D, and F models are handcrafted at the Oxnard, California factory; the Westerly Collection delivers the signature Guild sound at accessible prices; and Newark St. revives the brand's classic electric and semi-hollow guitars.
Main Guild Series
D Series — Legendary Dreadnoughts
From the D-40 that rang out at Woodstock to the flagship D-55, which has competed with the world's best dreadnoughts for decades. Powerful, deep sound for strumming and the stage.
F Series — Jumbos & Benchmark 12-Strings
Big jumbo bodies and the legendary F-512 and F-212 twelve-strings — instruments that defined the sound of the genre. A shimmering, chiming string chorus you can't mistake.
M Series — Compact Bodies for Fingerstyle
The M-20 is "that" Nick Drake guitar: a small body with clarity and note separation. The perfect choice for fingerstyle, recording, and home playing.
Westerly Collection — the Signature Sound at Accessible Prices
A tribute to the golden Westerly era: solid-top models with Guild's arched back (Archback) — from compact concert bodies to jumbos, including acoustic-electrics and 12-strings.
Newark St. — Classic Guild Electrics
The legends reborn: Starfire I–VI semi-hollows, M-75 Aristocrat/Bluesbird single-cuts, the S-100 Polara, and Starfire basses. Vintage character with modern reliability.
USA Series — Handcrafted in Oxnard, California
Flagship M, D, F acoustics and F twelve-strings, handmade in the USA from select tonewoods. Lifetime instruments for the most demanding players.

Guild — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Guild known for?
Legendary American acoustics: the D-40 opened Woodstock, the D-55 is one of the world's benchmark dreadnoughts, and the F-512/F-212 twelve-strings are considered the best in the genre. Plus the Starfire semi-hollows chosen by musicians of the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane.
How does the Westerly Collection differ from the USA series?
The USA series is handcrafted in Oxnard, California from all-solid woods — that's the flagship. The Westerly Collection is built at partner factories under Guild's control and brings the signature construction (solid top, arched back) into an accessible price range.
What does the arched back do?
Guild's signature construction since 1953: the arched back needs no bracing, so the instrument is lighter while the sound is louder with better projection. It's what shapes the recognizable Guild character.
Is there a warranty and delivery?
Yes, every Guild guitar at SoundsGood is covered by the official manufacturer's warranty. We deliver across Ukraine via Nova Poshta in 1–3 days, free from 4,000 UAH; pickup is available in Kyiv (15 Olzhycha St.).
