Every detail of this premium acoustic supports a musical experience that's designed to inspire.
Solid Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood for Full and Lively Sound
The tonal foundation of the M-50 Standard lies in its solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Sitka spruce contributes dynamic responsiveness and bright articulation, while Indian rosewood adds depth, warmth and complex overtones for a full-bodied acoustic voice. This combination produces a balanced sound that works beautifully across styles, from delicate fingerpicking to rhythmic strumming. The gloss nitrocellulose finish enhances resonance while highlighting the rich grain of the Indian rosewood. Whether performing live or recording, the M-50 offers a musical palette that is both versatile and compelling, embodying the quality and tonal character expected from a U.S.-built Guild.
Guild Concert Body With Adirondack Spruce Bracing for a Rich, Clear Voice
The M-50 Standard's M-size concert body offers a smaller, more intimate playing experience while delivering remarkable projection and tonal definition. Forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing beneath the top optimizes resonance, sustain and dynamic response without sacrificing control. This bracing system allows the guitar to respond sensitively to a light touch while still handling vigorous strumming. Its compact dimensions, combined with a slightly wider nut and string spacing, make chord voicings and fingerstyle work effortless. The result is a concert acoustic that projects clearly and evenly, providing players with a refined voice suitable for both solo performance and ensemble contexts.
C-Shaped Mahogany Neck Offers Smooth Playability With a Familiar Feel
Playability is a cornerstone of the M-50 Standard design. Its C-shaped mahogany neck offers a familiar, comfortable grip, while dual-action truss rod adjustments ensure long-term stability. The Indian rosewood fingerboard, paired with Jescar frets and pearloid dot inlays, enables smooth transitions and precise intonation. With a 1-3/4" bone nut and 12" fingerboard radius, the neck strikes the perfect balance between substance and comfort, accommodating complex chord shapes and intricate fingerstyle techniques. This thoughtful construction supports both practice sessions and professional performances with ease.
Vintage-Inspired Appointments and Hardware Built to Last
The M-50 Standard features Guild Deluxe Vintage open-gear tuners with butterbean buttons for reliable tuning and a classic aesthetic. Its Indian rosewood bridge, compensated bone saddle and bone nut maximize sustain, clarity and intonation. Elegant appointments—including a tortoiseshell pickguard, white body binding and the pearloid Guild Peak headstock inlay—combine beauty with function, protecting the guitar while maintaining a timeless look. Finished in vintage gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the instrument matures gracefully over time, allowing the top to open up and resonate more freely. Each guitar ships with a certificate of authenticity and Guild deluxe humidified wood hardshell case for protection and peace of mind.
