A Vintage-Looking Guild OM "Westerly" Designed for the Stage
The OM-140CE embodies the spirit of classic-style Guild models, featuring a distinctive visual identity with the Chesterfield headstock logo reminiscent of 1960s instruments. Within the Westerly range, it stands as a high-end electro-acoustic guitar: meticulous craftsmanship, solid woods, and stage-ready electronics, all in a timeless Natural finish.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
With its comfortable OM format and 44 mm nut width, this electro-acoustic guitar is especially suited for intermediate to advanced players seeking precision in arpeggios, ease in chord playing, and a versatile instrument. It excels in folk, pop, singer-songwriter, fingerstyle, and pick accompaniment, while remaining very comfortable for more dynamic strumming parts.
Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, precise attack, and a good dynamic range: perfect for transitioning from delicate playing to stronger attacks without losing definition. The solid African mahogany back and sides enhance the midrange, add warmth, and offer a natural balance that highlights vocals and acoustic instruments in ensemble settings. The OM format promotes a balanced response and excellent control, while the cutaway facilitates playing phrases high up the neck. Plugged in, the Guild / Fishman AP1 electronics paired with the Sonicore pickup deliver a faithful and usable signal for the stage, with amplification that respects the acoustic character of the instrument.
