Guild F-40 Traditional Natural Acoustic Guitar with Case
Product no: 9000-0089-4420 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.
General
Well aware of the reputation of some of their vintage guitars, Guild present a fresh take on the F-40 acoustic. Its predecessor, the F-48 Navarre, was built between 1972 and 1976 and has been become a rare find. Thankfully, Guild have used the same traditional techniques to build this up-to-date rendition - as well as the same woods. The solid spruce soundboard combines with a solid mahogany back and sides to shape a stunningly warm sound and ample sustain, which is given a considerable boost by the natural projection and volume of the jumbo body.
Vintage Looks
Guild has also gone back in to time to polish off the looks of the F-40. From the tortoiseshell scratchplate to the Vintage Open Gear tuners, this guitar exudes vintage class and tradition. Even the bone nut and bone saddle have carved by hand, and the saddle has been compensated to ensure extra-accurate intonation. The F-40 shines in every possible way and will keep any guitarist busy for years. And, so you can keep the instrument in mint condition, Guild even include a deluxe hard-case equipped with a built-in humidifier.
