Overview

Crafted with exceptional projection and all the charm of the early-70s guitars that inspired its design.

Achieve incredible clarity, balance and volume with Guild's jumbo-shaped F-40, made in Southern California. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides, this jumbo acoustic checks all the boxes for players who prize outstanding projection and enhanced midrange. Its predecessor, the F-48 Navarre, was only produced from 1972 to 1976 and original versions are a rare treasure. Today’s reissue manifests the same vintage charm with timeless and tasteful appointments such as a tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding and Guild’s peak logo inlaid on the headstock. Premium materials such as an East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, 20:1 open-gear tuners and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle all match today’s standards for fine acoustics. A satin varnish finish gives this guitar its familiar broken-in look and feel, while allowing the tonewoods to "breathe” and reach their sonic potential.

The F-40 comes with a archtop wood case with a built-in Humicase humidification system so it'll last longer than a generic guitar case.
