Players drawn to the sound and feel of iconic vintage American guitars will find everything they want in the Guild D-40 Standard Dreadnought. Preserving the fundamentals of an American-made workhorse is no small undertaking, which is why the D-40 Standard boasts exceptional solid tonewood materials carefully assembled in the United States. Premium cuts of spruce, mahogany, and rosewood produce a dynamic, all-purpose range with low-end warmth upheld by the signature shape of the D-40’s shoulders. The D-40 Standard’s “C”-shaped mahogany neck delivers smooth, assertive playability and supports effortless roaming of the rosewood fingerboard. Moreover, the D-40’s popularity with a diverse spread of acoustic players demonstrates once again why the dreadnought is a perfect fit for singer/songwriters, band settings, studio recording, and more. Top-notch hardware seals the deal, including a bone nut and a vintage nitro gloss finish that lets tonewoods breathe and honors the Guild legacy with each strum. The D-40 Standard Dreadnought acoustic guitar embodies vintage fidelity and traditional tone every step of the way — discover what the buzz is about!

Outstanding tonewoods
The D-40 Standard takes its cues from a heritage tonewood recipe that facilitates versatile workhorse tones for any style of music. A solid Sitka spruce top supports outstanding volume and projection that, when played softly, mellows into a more delicate dynamic feel. A body carved from solid African mahogany supports powerful spruce with additional warmth, richness, and midrange power for a head-turning tone. Inside the D-40, scalloped Adirondack spruce X-bracing ties everything together with stellar note separation and full-range balance. Additional choice hardware, including a rosewood bridge, bone nut, and vintage tuners, preserves the D-40 Standard's clear sustain and smooth string action, resulting in a high-performance feel that helps players tackle any musical situation with confidence.

American dreadnought design
The D-40 dreadnought body is a classic American design that dates back to Guild guitars first built in 1963. Bluegrass players, fingerpickers, strummers — countless guitarists turn to this body shape for good reason. The D-40’s large width and depth enhance low end and midrange frequencies for reliable, full-bodied sound and projection. The D-40’s power is strong but well-balanced, ideal for single-note runs and strumming with plenty of headroom for dynamics. A mahogany neck paired with a classic “C” shape and a rosewood fingerboard makes for comfortable playability that empowers players regardless of style.

The finishing touch — traditional nitro!
This D-40 Standard manifests vintage charm with a host of tone-boosting hardware and gorgeous appointments. The headstock boasts deluxe high-ratio 20:1 tuners for bold stability and fast tuning breaks. Elsewhere, a bone nut and saddle ensure tight, resonant communication between strings and body with ear-pleasing results. What's more, each D-40 Standard receives a nitrocellulose gloss finish, yielding the sound and feel of a vintage heirloom acoustic. Nitro finishes are rigorous and time-consuming to produce, making them less common; however, discerning players find nitro finishes bring sculpted looks that highlight natural wood grain while letting tonewoods vibrate freely and improve their tonal character as they age. Guild ensures the D-40 Standard Dreadnought acoustic guitar looks, sounds, and feels like a premium instrument at every turn.

Great product and worth the money.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Portable and stable. Perfect size and gives me the privacy I need when working from home. Stability is great as long as you place the stands correctly it won't wobble. I love it.

Attractive
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey
The assembled product is just as described. The screens look great! I am using them to hide the cluttered shelving in my garage. The area now looks quite neat Something I must say, though, is that the assembly was extremely difficult. I had to use a silicone spray and some pounding to get the A and B poles to fit together. Also, it required a great deal of strength to stretch and hold the fabric panels so that the bars inserted in each hem lines up with the screws inserted in A/B poles. I strongly recommend having a partner to help with the assembly. while sc and screw into poles them once inserted intetchedtne end of each pole ( and B poles barely fit together. I used silicone spray on the end and then pounded them

Does the job, but assembling by yourself is a nightmare
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Does it do the job? Yes, although as others said there are small gaps but it's not a huge deal. The price is also good. But the reason I'm giving it a 3/5 is simply because the assembly for this was a complete nightmare. I honestly don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless they have another person to help them assemble it, because doing it by myself was terrible. I don't think I'd buy this again, I think I'd opt to just spend a bit more money and save myself the trouble personally.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it. Couple things: 1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky. One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection. Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it. 2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless. 3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together. 4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place. 5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options. NOW on to the utility itself. 1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great! 2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world. 3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it. All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.
