Archback – Drawing from its beginnings as a high-end archtop guitar manufacturer, Guild was the first to introduce back arching on acoustic guitars and this defining build technique sets Guild guitars apart. An archback creates:

Tone Projection – a deeper and contoured body chamber that increases projection.

Weight Reduction – no back bracing which reduces weight and improves resonance.

Strength – arching creates structure and strength, adding durability. Made to be Played.

Fishman x Guild GT-1 Pickup System – featuring Fishman S-Core piezo and internal soundhole mounted volume and tone controls for ease of use and no drilling or impact on the acoustic body design.

OM “Orchestra” Body Shape – Guild’s OM body shape sits right in the middle of body sizes within the Guild acoustic lineup; smaller than a Dreadnought (D) and larger than a Concert (M) body. It is equally suited for strumming and fingerpicking, and produces a warm, balanced tone. OMs are some of the most popular body shapes in acoustic guitars, and paired with a 25 ½" scale length, the OM-250E is the perfect and comfortable choice for the versatile musician.

Lightweight Satin Finish – An ultra-thin satin finish that is lightweight and resonant. Open pore with no heavy grain fills or over-spray that choke the guitar from vibrating and producing warm, woody tones. Natural and smooth coating with subtle grain texture.

Premium Materials – Includes Guild Vintage 16 Open Gear tuning machines with 16:1 gear ratio, real bone nut and saddle, tortoiseshell pickguard, multi-ply mother of pearl rosette and purfling inlays, and the classic tonewood combination of Spruce and Rosewood.
