GUITAR

RASTAMAN VIBRATION

Reggae perhaps isn’t a genre known for its guitar heroics, but when you choose to pay tribute to one of the most popular artists of all time (of any genre), one is probably all you need. That’s exactly what Guild has done with its new A-20 Marley.Based on the Guild Madeira A-20 acoustic which Bob used to write many of his hits, this dreadnought features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck and 25.5” scale Pau Ferro Fingerboard. The Guild logo lovingly recreates the 70s script vibe of Bob’s Guild, and the great man’s signature is etched into the scratchplate. It comes with a deluxe gig bag, and case candy including a booklet detailing the history of Bob’s own Guild, custom picks and a classy-looking poster of Bob and his guitar for £359. www.guildguitars.com
