The M-260E Deluxe offers upgraded appointments and features to the "M" concert-sized acoustics in Guild's 200 series lineup. Taking after the flagship USA made M-20, the M-260E carries the same reduced body dimensions and shorter scale length that have made Guild "M" models the choice of many players over the brand's 70-year history, from folk singer-songwriter Nick Drake to indie-pop hitmaker Beabadoobee.
