For Sale or Trade: Guild F50R Natural Finish $1000 obo

[Just Strummin]

This is the model made in California. Natural color. Has some finish crazing on the top. Other than that, in very good condition. Unfortunately, I need a smaller guitar so I have to let this go.

GUILD F50R Jumbo

F50 in a Rosewood version!
Nothing sings out as bold and true as a Guild jumbo acoustic guitar. They are the original Guild flattops, 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 stand proudly behind the quality of our materials. Guild jumbo bodies are 17" wide at the lower bout and 21" long. The necks are 25-5/8" in scale with 20 frets and are 1-11/16" wide at the nut with a 12" fingerboard radius. If you're a player who likes the projection of a real jumbo acoustic, these guitars are for you. All Guild guitars are accompanied by a deluxe archtop case.

In 65, Guild decided to offer the popular F50 in a Rosewood version. Like those classic guitars, the new F50R features solid Rosewood back and sides and has the same vintage specifications as the F50 4.8" body depth, "X" brace pattern, and Rosewood bridge; but the sound is completely different. With a warmer tone than the Maple F50, the F50R has been the choice of players like Bonnie Raitt, Bryan Adams and Dan Hicks.
