Nothing sings out as bold and true as a Guild jumbo acoustic guitar. They are the original Guild flat-tops, 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 proudly stand behind our quality materials. If you like the projection of a real jumbo acoustic, these guitars are for you.
In 1965, Guild offered its popular F-50 in a Rosewood version. Like those classic guitars, the new F-50R features a Solid Rosewood Back and Sides with the same vintage specs as its predecessor. It has a 4.8”-deep body, “X” Bracing pattern and a Rosewood Bridge. The F-50R has a completely different sound and 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.
