Solid flamed maple back and sides, solid spruce top with scalloped bracing, one piece mahogany neck with dovetail neck joint.

The Guild GAD-JF30 was designed utilizing the jumbo maple body that has been in the Guild® line since 1954. Guild uses solid flamed maple for the back and sides, a solid spruce top that features scalloped bracing, and then joined the one piece mahogany neck with the traditional dovetail neck joint.

For other appointments on the GAD-JF-30 they use ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. Guild continued the use of ebony for the pearl dot inlayed bridge and strap pins, then added wood bindings, and Grover Rotomatic tuning gears. For the best in tone and intonation, they installed a bone nut and bone compensated saddle.

For the finishing touches they inlayed classic pearl fingerboard inlays and then pack the instrument in a wooden arched case. A guitar worthy of representing over 50 years of fine guitar building by Guild Guitars.

When I first got my Guild 4 yrs ago , I loved it , it played well , and had great tone Fast forward to today ,and I had to spent $200 to repair the saddle and there is a crack in the top . I have several other acoustic and electric guitars , some are over 30 years old . All my guitars are housed in the same room and I have no issues , yet a 4 year old Guild from China falls apart. Very disappointed , I should have got the Martin
