Guild USA F-40 Traditional Natural Jumbo Acoustic (new)

New with Guild Deluxe Humidified acoustic hard shell case. This guitar features jumbo body, solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped X bracing and decorative soundhole rosette, solid African mahogany back and sides, multiple bindings on the top body edge and black back binding, tortoiseshell grain pickguard, mahogany C shape neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays starting at the third fret, 1 11/16" nut width, bone nut, open gear tuners, black headstock overlay with pearl inlaid Guild and Chesterfield logos, Indian rosewood bridge with compensated bone saddle, nickel plated metal hardware, and natural satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. 4lbs 7oz.

This big Guild guitar sounds amazingly warm and articulate with plenty of high end due to its African mahogany back and sides. The guitar is very lively and open sounding and this will only improve with time. The low end is punchy and smooth. The fit and finish and overall build quality of this guitar is superb. The Guild Guitar Company has gone out of their way to ensure that these American made guitars are every bit as good as their vintage predecessors from Guild's golden era. An absolutely stunning new guitar that will surely get even better with age.

From the manufacturer: Achieve incredible clarity, balance and volume with our jumbo-shaped F-40, made in Southern California. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides, this jumbo acoustic checks all the boxes for players who prize outstanding projection and enhanced mid-range. Its predecessor, the F-48 Navarre, was only produced from 1972 to 1976 and original versions are a rare treasure. Today’s reissue manifests the same vintage charm with timeless and tasteful appointments such as a tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild’s peak logo inlaid on the headstock. Premium materials such as an East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, 20:1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle all match today’s standards for fine acoustics. A satin varnish finish gives this guitar its familiar broken-in look and feel, while allowing the tone woods to “breathe” and reach their sonic potential. Each F-40 includes a Guild archtop wood case with a built-in Humicase® humidification system.
