![]() DESCRIPTION Solid top electro-acoustic 6-string guitar, made in Indonesia.In every way, the F-240E is a lot of guitar for the money. Although fairly basic, the pickup system does a decent job of capturing the acoustic tone and provides some indispensable treble roll-off along with high signal levels. But when you alternate picking and strumming, the wide dynamic range impresses. Switching to fingerstyle, with less energy driving the top, the character becomes softer and mellower. You get chiming overtones too, but overall the F-240E is woodier than it is bright. Strumming chords offers boundless fun and you actually feel the rear move as it kicks soundwaves back through the soundhole. There’s ample weight, but it’s more of a focused low-mid thump than a dominant bass boom. ![]() The tone is big without brashness, and nicely balanced across the strings. The full neck is super comfy and marries well with the jumbo body without feeing daunting or challenging to play. Ideally it would come down a little lower, but there’s sufficient saddle height to make that an option. There’s also too much neck relief, but the dual-action truss-rod is easy to access and adding a little tension lowers the action. As supplied, our Guild’s action is a little on the high side.
