2005 Guild F50-R Jumbo Acoustic Guitar Tacoma, Washington Factory Sunburst
NEW - 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, Guild stands proudly behind the quality of the materials. If you're a player who likes the projection of a real jumbo acoustic, this guitar is for you!
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.Fender bought the company in late 1995, Guild was headquartered in Westerly, Rhode Island. In 2001, its factory was closed and production moved across the country to the Fender plant in Corona, California. That operation closed in 2005, when Fender bought the Tacoma Guitar Company, and production was moved to the Tacoma factory in Washington. This is one of the few Fender / Tacoma Washington built Guild F50 R guitars and is rare. The top was repaired for a seem crack and it now sounds amazing. With original case.
