Description
Guild took its well-loved Archback design and scaled it down into a bass players actually want to gig with. The B-240E pairs a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, giving you a woody, present low end that’s punchy up close and still reads clearly through a PA. It’s the kind of tone that makes unplugged rehearsals and songwriter sets feel like a real instrument, not a compromise.
- Solid spruce top for lively, responsive projection
- Mahogany back and sides for a warm, focused low-mid character
- Short 30-3/4″ scale length — easier reach for players coming from electric bass or smaller hands
- Onboard Fishman-designed electronics for direct-to-amp, PA, or DAW connection
- Natural satin finish that shows off the wood grain without a glossy shine
The shorter scale makes this bass approachable whether you’re doubling on upright-style parts or just want an acoustic that doesn’t feel like a stretch to play. Plug into the Fishman pickup system when you need volume, or play it fully acoustic in a living room or writing session — either way, you’re getting genuine low-end character that sits well in a mix. Solid finish work and Guild’s build quality mean this is a bass you can trust on stage, in the studio, or on the road.
