GUILD USA guild’s u.s. craftsmanship has been a force to be reckoned with for more than half a century. Fresh off a cross-country move to California in 2014, Guild continues to carry on its legacy as a premier name in acoustic guitars. Inside the walls of a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility, Guild’s manufacturing team has brought new machinery to life, while re-tooling and re-purposing some of the older machines from Guild’s past. The M-20 and D-20 are the first instruments to emerge from this new era of craftsmanship, authentic reproductions of iconic acoustic models first introduced by Guild in the 1960s. Other flagship models, such as the famed D-55 and F-512, will follow shortly. Guild is excited to carry on its legacy in U.S. manufacturing with a renewed commitment to exceptional build quality, premium materials, and that classic sound that can only come from a Guild guitar.

ORPHEUM SERIES guild’s beautifully crafted and rich-sounding orpheum series guitars are based on construction methods and appointments of the 1930s, often considered the “golden era” in acoustic guitar design. The Orpheum series imagines what Guild guitars would have been like if Guild had been established 20 years earlier. Featuring premium tonewoods, distinctly modern construction methods, and a variety of body shapes, each Orpheum guitar stylishly exudes a vintage 1930s vibe.
