zZounds Gear Experts Say...
F50R with D-TAR Pickup System. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides, a 4.8"-deep body, "X" bracing pattern and a sculpted rosewood bridge.
Overview
Nothing sings out as bold and true as a Guild jumbo acoustic guitar. If you like the projection of a real jumbo acoustic, these guitars are for you! They are the original Guild flat-tops, first made in 1954. In 1965, Guild offered its popular F-50 jumbo model in a rosewood version--the F50R, which has a completely different sound with a warmer tone than its maple sibling (the F-50) and has been an instrument of choice for players such as Bonnie Raitt, Bryan Adams and Dan Hicks.
Today's F-50R w/D-TAR features solid Indian rosewood back and sides, a 4.8"-deep body, "X" bracing pattern and a sculpted rosewood bridge. Other features include a AAA spruce top, bound ebony fingerboard with traditional mother of pearl and abalone block inlays, "G"-shield headstock logo, gold hardware, pure nitrocellulose lacquer finish and the D-TAR(R) Wave-Length(TM) Load 'N Lock pickup system.

Category: Jumbo Guitars
Body Style: Jumbo
Top: Solid AAA Sitka Spruce
Bracing: Guild(R) Scalloped Red Spruce
Back: Solid Indian Rosewood

Machine Heads: Gotoh(R) SE700 Series Gold-Plated Open-Back Tuners
Pickups: D-TAR(TM) Wave-Length(TM) Pickup and Preamp System with Load 'N Lock(TM) Battery Access.
The Wave-Length combines a thin, piezo under-saddle transducer with an 18v, low-noise, high input impedance preamp, to create a system with twice the dynamic range of typical 9v systems. The 18v preamp is powered by two "AA" batteries and a voltage converter. With 18 volts, the signal has more headroom, so hard strumming won't distort as easily. The preamp also has an input for a second source, like a magnetic pickup or a soundboard transducer.
Two adjustable trim pots, one for low frequency shelving and one for high frequency shelving, allow you to fine tune and "set and forget" the bass and treble frequencies to optimize the Wave-Length for your instrument's size and shape; enabling you transparently amplify the natural timbre of your acoustic guitar with minimal coloration. The soundhole mounted Volume and Tone controls give the ultimate in final control your tonal palette.
But perhaps the coolest part of the system is D-TAR's new Load 'N Lock
system, which allows quick and easy "AA" batteries changes. Just unscrew
the endpin "collar," remove the old batteries, and pop in the new ones. A quarter turn of the collar is all you need to lock them in place.
