Essential Information About the Westerly OM120 Natural Guitar + Case



  • Orchestra (OM) Format: excellent definition in fingerpicking, while remaining very comfortable for strumming.

  • All solid mahogany (top, back, sides): a soft, warm, and balanced tonal signature.

  • Premium details: bone nuts and mother-of-pearl rosette for a high-end finish.

  • Iconic Guild look: "Chesterfield" headstock inlay inspired by 1960s models, "tortoiseshell" pickguard, and natural glossy finish.



A Guild OM Designed as a Versatile Folk Guitar in the Westerly Series


With this Westerly OM120, the Guild spirit is found in an acoustic guitar with an OM format, known for its balance and precision. Its aesthetics draw from the brand's historical codes, notably the "Chesterfield" headstock reminiscent of 1960s Guilds, while offering a modern and practical approach with a lightweight polyfoam hard case. The result: an elegant, serious, and instantly inspiring folk guitar.



For Which Guitarists and Styles?


The Westerly OM120 is aimed at the motivated beginner as well as the intermediate musician seeking an expressive and comfortable acoustic. Its Orchestra format, highly appreciated for fingerstyle playing, highlights nuances, arpeggios, and phrasing, while retaining enough responsiveness to accompany with a pick. Ideal for pop, folk, vocal accompaniment, soft blues, and any situation where a balanced sound is preferred over overwhelming bass.



Tone


The choice of 100% solid African mahogany luthiery directly influences the instrument's response: mahogany is renowned for its rich mids, a rather round attack, and a very musical dynamic, particularly pleasant in fingerpicking. In OM format, projection remains precise and clear, with a natural balance between bass, mids, and treble, helping the guitar to sit well in a voice + instrument mix. The bone nuts contribute to better vibration transmission, enhancing definition and sustain, while the vintage-profile neck and 44 mm nut width encourage comfortable right- and left-hand positioning for enriched chords and more detailed playing.



Recommended Compatible Accessories


This guitar comes with a Guild lightweight polyfoam case, practical for transport and storage. To complete an acoustic setup without compatibility issues, you can add a chromatic tuner, a guitar stand, picks according to your attack style, a microfiber cloth to preserve the glossy finish, and (depending on your environment) a humidifier to help stabilize the instrument against climate variations.
