Add cinematic depth to your playing with the Guild BT-240E Baritone. Built on Guild’s historically large jumbo platform and tuned five semitones below standard (B–E–A–D–F#–B), this baritone delivers a moody, resonant low end that sits beautifully under vocals and blends effortlessly in acoustic ensembles. A solid Sitka spruce top partners with an arched mahogany back and mahogany sides to project a tight, punchy bass response without sacrificing balance or clarity. Whether you’re a singer-songwriter chasing new textures, an arranger layering parts in the studio, or a guitarist seeking a lower register without floppy strings, the BT-240E’s extended 27" scale keeps tension and intonation on point.
Plug in and perform with confidence thanks to the Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system with discreet soundhole-mounted Volume and Tone controls. A comfortable C-shape mahogany neck, smooth pau ferro fretboard and 16" radius make long sessions feel natural, while premium touches like a bone nut and compensated bone saddle, vintage-style open-gear tuners and a durable satin polyurethane finish round out a professional build that’s ready for stage and studio.
