See Details
You have never
heard a Guild Like the Brand New D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee!
First of all,
notice how lightweight the mighty D-40 is. Then examine
the top: Yes, it is solid red spruce with scalloped
red spruce braces, just like all the great pre-war instruments
we all covet. Flip it over and admire the solid mahogany
back and sides as well.
Strum a few
first position chords and take in the balance, resonance
and overall clarity of whatever you play.

| Testimonials
"Even though
I live in SF I have been a long time customer of Gelb
Music. Starting out as a pup in my first band to touring
internationally, the folks at Gelb have taken care of
me and made sure I was ready to rock. Over the years
I've developed personal relationships with the guys
that work there. Being a woman in the music industry
has enough challenges of it's own but these guys have
never given me attitude and really helped me out and
encouraged me. I have nothing but the highest regards
for this place."
Nancy Kravitz
"Gelb Music
is a one of a kind store. You can go all over the U.S.
(I have) and not find a store as great as Gelb. Their
sales staff is extremely knowledgeable, all of them
are experienced musicians, most with gigging bands,
and their service is probably better then what you get
at a $100 a plate restaurant. Every time I go to Gelb
music I leave feeling happy and confident that my purchase
will continue to please me for years to come. They have
not let me down yet."
Mike Thompson
"The Gelb
staff is able to extend their remarkable knowledge of
music, instruments, musicianship, and art to a wide
range of consumer ranging in age from the interested
child to the adult. This staff treats all the people
who enter the doors of this fine establishment with
respect and patience."
Jim & Sean Clifford
"There
are three main reasons I always shop at Gelb: extremely
knowledgeable and friendly salespeople; extensive selection
of professional grade gear; and none of the used-car-lot
hassles of other music stores. I always get a great
price without having to spend my day bartering with
commissioned salespeople."
Michael Tyler
"What can
I say?! I've been shopping at Gelb for almost 20 years,
and their selection, service, and support is still the
best in the Bay Area!"
Mark Cvitkovich
"I've been
buying my equipment at Gelb for about 20 years now.
The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable and more
interested in meeting my needs rather than selling me
something I don't need or that doesn't fit.
They are always ready to answer my questions, and they
always have the newest equipment and absolutely the
best prices in the Bay Area.
I won't shop anywhere else, you shouldn't either."
