Description

The 1962 Guild Duane Eddy DE-400 is a stunning signature model designed for the legendary “King of Twang.” This fully hollow archtop features a 16 3/8” maple body, delivering the warm, resonant tones that define Duane Eddy’s sound. The mahogany neck with a bound Brazilian rosewood fingerboard offers smooth playability, while the open book Guild headstock adds a touch of elegance.

Equipped with dual DeArmond pickups, this DE-400 produces rich, articulate tones with plenty of bite and clarity, perfect for everything from twangy leads to warm jazz voicings. The Guild branded vibrato adds expressive control, and the metal bridge ensures excellent sustain.

This example is in very good condition, with moderate signs of wear. A rare and collectible piece of Guild history, it comes with its original hardshell case.
