"A thunderous and full range sound make this the best guitar for the money."

Feature:
It came with a great Guild case. It's made of iron, it seems like.

Quality:
Great workmanship. Beautiful bowed maple back makes it look like a chello or a fine orchestra instrument.

Value:
It's a s good as any major produced guitar you can find. It will match any sound of any guitar made.

Desirability:
I have the antique sunburst model, and man is it good lookin.

Sound:
I sold my Martin D-35 to buy this guitar. It is the best sounding live performance guitar out there. It is harder to play than some because the neck is a little wider, but the sound is unbeatable. A great rythum guitar.

Support:
I haven't had to get any support in twenty five years of owning it. It has been quality all through the years.

Overall:
I keep wondering if I will get tired of this guitar, after owning it for over twenty-five years. But I keep looking at what I got and what I need, and then I realize I have all that I need....the best.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
Nothing sings out as bold and true as a Guild jumbo acoustic guitar. They are the original Guild flattops, first manufactured in Manhattan in 1954. From the beauty of the Spruce and the elegance of the Rosewood, to the depth of the nitrocellulose finish, we stand proudly behind the quality of our materials. Guild jumbo bodies are 17 in. wide at the lower bout and 21 in. long. The necks are 25-5/8 in. scale with 20 frets and are 1-11/16 in. wide at the nut with a 12 in. fingerboard radius. If you're a player who likes the projection of a real jumbo acoustic, these guitars are for you. All Guild guitars are accompanied by a deluxe archtop case.

Introduced in 1954, the F-50 was the top of the acoustic flat top line and was popularized by exceptional players including Eric Clapton, who graced the cover of the Guild catalog in 1968. The new F-50 adopts many of the features of the best 1960's instruments, with a 4.8 in. body depth, a relocated "X" brace pattern, and a new sculpted Rosewood bridge. Other specifications include a AAA Spruce top, arched Curly Maple back and sides, an Ebony fingerboard with traditional Mother-of-Pearl and Abalone block position inlays, a shell pickguard, our G-shield headstock logo, and gold Grover Rotomatic® tuning machines.
