Here is the ultimate Guild Jumbo model, the F-55E with extraordinary volume and warmth. The solid Sitka Spruce top is wonderfully densely grained, Indian Rosewood sides and back provide fantastic separation and clarity.
Made in the Guild bow press used since the mid-eighties gives a solid and firm response in the bottom, wonderful and clear mid-range and crisp nice top.
The F-55 is of course exceptionally good-looking, Guild's classic v-inlay, gold mechanics from Gotoh and beautifully lacquered in nitrocellulose. The quality is consistently exceptional and together with the high-grade specifications, the F-55 is a worthy heir to the Guild's history and Alfred Dronge smiles contentedly in his heaven. Also comes with a nice humidified case.
