Get incredible clarity, balance and volume with our jumbo-shaped F-40, made in Southern California. With a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides, this jumbo acoustic checks all the boxes for players who appreciate exceptional projection and an enhanced midrange. Its predecessor, the F-48 Navarre, was only produced from 1972 to 1976 and the original versions are a rare treasure. Today's reissue manifests the same vintage charm with timeless and tasteful elements such as a tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding and Guild's tip logo inlaid on the headstock. High-end materials such as an East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, 20: 1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle all meet today's standards for fine acoustics. A satin varnish finish gives this guitar its familiar look and feel, while allowing the tonewoods to "breathe" and reach their tonal potential. Each F-40 comes with a Gutop archtop case with a built-in Humicase humidification system. A discreet American-made LR Baggs Element VTC pickup is also available (F-40E).
