Based on Bob Marley's songwriter's home guitar, the Guild A-20 Marley is a worthy tribute to the reggae legend. Many of Marley's hits from the '70s were written on his Guild Madeira acoustic guitar. The A-20 brings Marley's beloved dreadnought guitar back to the world with a few modern features. With its solid spruce bottom and mahogany back and sides, this dreadnought guitar's full-bodied and powerful tone offers Marley fans and songwriters alike an easy-to-play, well-balanced acoustic guitar. The C-shaped neck with a scale length of 24 ¾ ensures a relaxed and comfortable playing feeling. Unique features include a flat, round, Vintage-style headstock with Guild lettering, a custom pickguard with Bob Marley signature, and a MARLEY script inlay on the 12th. Other features include a Pau Ferro fretboard and bridge, bone nut, and saddle and a matt polyurethane finish. Available in Natural. To underline Bob Marley's love for music and the planet, the guitar comes with a high-quality Marley X Guild gig bag made from recycled nylon. Additionally, Guild has partnered with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every Marley guitar made. The accompanying booklet contains the history of Marley's Guild Madeira, first-hand stories from his family, details about the making of the A-20 Marley and official chords for one of Bob Marley's greatest hits. Three custom-made guitar picks feature a lion and the Guild G-Shield in gold ink. An exclusive poster featuring Bob Marley and his original Guild commemorates the legacy of one of the world's greatest songwriters.
