Guild's B‐240E Acoustic Electric Bass brings decades of acoustic bass innovation into a single, powerful instrument that commands attention in any musical setting. Drawing from Guild's pioneering B‐50 design from the mid‐1970s, this jumbo‐bodied bass combines the classic arched mahogany back construction with modern playability through its comfortable 30 3/4" scale length. The solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides creates a rich, resonant tone that cuts through acoustic jams with remarkable clarity.
The B‐240E features premium appointments including a pau ferro fingerboard and bridge, complemented by a slim C‐shaped neck profile that makes extended playing sessions comfortable. Quality details like the 1 5/8" bone nut, bone saddle, tortoiseshell pickguard, and mother‐of‐pearl rosette showcase Guild's commitment to craftsmanship. The natural satin finish highlights the wood's natural beauty while providing durability for regular use.
Amplification comes courtesy of the integrated Guild/Fishman Bass Sonitone system, featuring a combination battery box and output jack that maintains the instrument's clean aesthetic while providing reliable electric performance. This versatile bass transitions seamlessly from unplugged sessions to amplified performances, making it an ideal choice for bassists who need one instrument to handle diverse musical situations. The package includes a Guild deluxe padded gig bag for protection and portability.
