[NAMM] 3 Guild Arcos Series Models

The new Arcos models feature Guild’s signature arched-back body design. Three new guitar models are designed to offer legendary Guild sound and playability at accessible price points.

Arcos series models include Guild’s slim, satin-finish mahogany neck. Other features include a solid Sitka spruce top, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, koa rosette and Fishman electronics. For added protection, all models include a Guild polyfoam case.

The AD-3 dreadnought features a solid Sitka spruce top, laminated mahogany sides and arched back. The koa rosette, pearl inlays and rosewood headcap impart a touch of class and understated elegance, the company says.

The AD-3CE is a dreadnought with a cutaway body design designed to invite players to venture into the upper regions of its rosewood fingerboard. Its Fishman Presys Plus pickup system rounds out the package with various features, such as an onboard electronic tuner and anti-feedback control.

Also in the series is the AO-3CE, an orchestra-style model with laminated mahogany sides and arched back, and a slim, satin-finish mahogany neck. Fingerstyle players will appreciate the extra string spacing that the 1 ¾” nut width provides, while the cutaway body design offers access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard on this small-body guitar. The AO-3CE also includes a Fishman Presys Plus pickup system, with an onboard electronic tuner and an anti-feedback control.
