The Beginning of a Legacy
When Guild opened their new plant in Westerly, Rhode Island in 1967 after outgrowing their last few facilities, the Guild M-20 was the first guitar to be built on the production line. It's easy to see why they chose the M-20 to christen their shiny new factory: it was a solid, versatile working man's acoustic guitar that provided incredible tone at a fantastic price. The M-20's no-frills looks and rich, warm tone caused quite a stir among acoustic adventurers of the sixties and seventies, including the great Nick Drake, who chose to pose with his beloved M-20 on the cover of his seminal Bryter Larter album (Wildwoodians, if you haven't listened to Nick Drake, drop everything, cancel all your obligations for the day, grab a box of tissues, and listen to Pink Moon posthaste--you won't be disappointed).
Very little has changed since 1967, and that's a good thing! Just like its vintage forefathers, the modern M-20 is still a solid-wood guitar with a rich voice produced with impeccable craftsmanship and care in the USA. We believe it continues the proud legacy of Guild guitars while providing a few vital upgrades for the discerning modern player, so let's take a closer look and see what makes the newest incarnation of the M-20 so awesome!
