Gorgeous Jumbo Acoustic from Guild
A legend returns in the Guild F-40E Jumbo. This beautifully crafted acoustic achieves incredible clarity, balance, and volume with its combination of classic tonewoods and exquisite craftsmanship. The Guild F-40 Jumbo features a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides for the type of projection and resonance that truly fills the room even when unplugged. This gorgeous instrument also features detailed, vintage appointments like a tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild’s peak logo inlaid on the headstock. An East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard play and respond beautifully in the hands as well. A hand-cut bone nut and saddle provide further tonal support as do 20:1 open-gear tuners. A satin varnish finish gives the F-40E a great broken-in look and allows the tonewoods to breathe and naturally age to their tonal maturity — in other words, this exquisite acoustic just gets better with age. Finally, LR Baggs Element electronics are onboard the F-40E providing outstanding amplified tone when plugged in. Sweetwater acoustic collectors love the Guild F-40E Jumbo.

Exceptional volume and projection
One of the most immediate things that you will notice with the Guild F-40E is the volume you get even with the most moderate strumming. The tonewoods and jumbo body style of the F-40E are built for big sound. You can explore nearly any style on the F-40E — folk, country, rock, and more. The F-40 is also great for fingerpicking. That means you'll be able to play with nuance, flowing between delicate passages and aggressive runs. Where other guitars may top out and start to sound indistinct, the F-40E remains clear and focused.
Solid spruce top for rich tone that improves with age
Guild knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the F-40E, Guild chose a solid Sitka spruce top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid spruce has a bold sound with excellent projection. And because it's a solid-wood top, the tone of your F-40E will age gracefully, with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by.
