Guitars - Guild D-40 Bluegrass: - 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."
Ray Souza
