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.
