Guild OM-250E Limited Archback

Based on Guild’s best-selling OM-240E, the OM-250E offers the same unbeatable design, construction, and value, but with an upgrade to Rosewood for the back and sides. This mid-sized orchestra shape acoustic is equally suited for flatpicking and fingerpicking and produces a rich and balanced tone with smooth playability.

With classic Guild design elements loved by players over the company’s 70 year history, the Guild OM-250E is a player’s acoustic with incredible value. A few of the design elements include a solid Sitka Spruce top with scalloped braces, archback body design, bone nut and saddle, Guild x Fishman GT-1 pickup system, and tortoiseshell pickguard.

Archback
Drawing from its beginnings as a high-end archtop guitar manufacturer, Guild was the first to introduce back arching on acoustic guitars and this defining build technique sets Guild guitars apart. An archback creates

• Tone Projection – a deeper and contoured body chamber that increases projection.
• Weight Reduction – no back bracing which reduces weight and improves resonance.
• Strength – arching creates structure and strength, adding durability. Made to be Played.
