AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
GUILD-F40-TRADATB
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Guild F-40 Traditional Jumbo Acoustic Guitar delivers incredible clarity, balance, and volume, making it a perfect choice for players seeking outstanding projection and enhanced mid-range. Made in Southern California, this jumbo acoustic features a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides, combining to produce a rich, dynamic tone. A reissue of the rare F-48 Navarre (produced from 1972-1976), the F-40 inherits vintage charm with tasteful appointments like a tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild’s peak logo inlaid on the headstock.
Crafted with premium materials, this guitar includes an East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, 20:1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle to ensure excellent tuning stability and superior tone. The satin varnish finish enhances the natural look and feel of the wood, allowing the tonewoods to fully resonate. The Guild F-40 is shipped with a Guild archtop wood case, complete with a built-in Humicase® humidification system for optimal care.
The Guild F-40 Traditional Jumbo Acoustic Guitar is the perfect balance of vintage-inspired design and modern craftsmanship, offering a powerful, articulate sound suited for any playing style.
