Guild's DCE series began with these
Dreadnought Cutaway Electric guitars. They were designed
as an alternative to imported acoustic-electrics.
Guild's balanced acoustic sound, combined with Fishman's
new Prefix Pro preamp system with matrix pickups,
results in instruments that are capable of real acoustic
tone, plugged or unplugged.
The DCE-5 features a solid AA spruce top, laminated rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard, fishman onboard blender system, and Guild's high gloss finish.
