collapse expand iconDescription

Guild's jumbo-bodied F-55E acoustic-electric (formerly F-50R) produces an extraordinary amount of volume and warmth, matching a tight-grained solid Sitka spruce top with solid Indian rosewood back and sides for extraordinary separation and clarity. Its strong, focused bass response, sweet, singing mids, and crisp highs give it a distinctive voice that sets this guitar apart from all others.

The F-55E boasts elegant cosmetic appointments include the classic Guild “V-block” inlays, gold Gotoh hardware, and a beautiful nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Exceptional build quality and premium specifications make it a worthy heir to the historic Guild jumbo legacy.

Available in Natural or Antique Sunburst finish, the F-55E features L.R. Baggs award-winning Anthem electronics, with a proprietary condenser microphone placed just under the bridge plate, great feedback resistance and soundhole-mounted controls.

Case sold separately.

    This instrument sounds like a choir of angels singing in baritone. Heavenly.

    I've upgraded from the Guild 250e Maple to this and have to say it was worth every dime. The guitar is full and has rich overtones with plenty of clarity and bottom end. It isn't overly aggressive on the bass but it is deep. Not to mention the tone is balanced well. Surprisingly light.

    Spectacular sound quality best described as a fresh crisp apple! I know that sounds strange but the strong, mellow bass is perfectly accented by crystalline mids and highs that are just superb. My first guitar was a Guild S300-D back in 1980, and after a string of Taylors and Alvarez Yairis, I've come full circle.

    I'm wondering if you have the Guild F55e in stock. If not, how long of a wait until I can buy it.
