Guild 's ultimate jumbo guitar is here: the F-55 Maple with a solid Sitka spruce top, arched flame maple bottom and sides. Crafted on the same bow press that has been part of Guild production since 1985, the F-55 Maple offers precisely focused highs and pronounced mids - perfect for a full, meaty, harp-like sound. Performers have long prized maple for its ability to perform in a large room and avoid feedback issues found in bassier tonewoods, and the F-55 Maple doesn't disappoint. Elegant features include Guild's classic V-block inlays, gold Gotoh hardware and a beautiful nitrocellulose finish. The exceptional build quality and top-notch specifications make it a worthy successor to Guild's historic jumbo guitar.
