Guild F-40E USA Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Antique Burst, Spruce Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, LR Baggs Element Preamp, HumiCase

Music Store Live is proud to present this Guild F-40! Few things inspire creativity more than the resonance, warmth, and simplicity of a well-built, straight ahead acoustic guitar. The F-40 is a rich, impeccably crafted instrument that gives you everything you need for great tone and great playability. The sound is incredible - think round, balanced lows, silky mids and crisp, articulate highs. This guitar is so responsive that your fingers can function like a tone knob. You can lean into it for punchy, aggressive sounds or back off for a sound that showcases the broad tonal subtleties of acoustic music. The neck is comfortable and easy to play everywhere. As this guitar ages, it's only going to sound and play better and better. The added LR Baggs preamp in there ensures that you're getting the transparent and true tone of your acoustic being sent to your amp or PA.

This is a great acoustic guitar for gigging and studio musicians as well as hobbyists who just need an awesome-sounding, big-sounding, versatile acoustic guitar.

Achieve incredible clarity, balance and volume with our jumbo-shaped F-40, made in Southern California. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid African mahogany back and sides, this jumbo acoustic checks all the boxes for players who prize outstanding projection and enhanced mid-range. Its predecessor, the F-48 Navarre, was only produced from 1972 to 1976 and original versions are a rare treasure. Today’s reissue manifests the same vintage charm with timeless and tasteful appointments such as a tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild’s peak logo inlaid on the headstock. Premium materials such as an East Indian rosewood bridge and fingerboard, 20:1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle all match today’s standards for fine acoustics. A satin varnish finish gives this guitar its familiar broken-in look and feel, while allowing the tone woods to “breathe” and reach their sonic potential.

Each F-40 ships with a Guild archtop wood case with a built-in Humicase® humidification system. Finish options include satin varnish in Natural, or Antique Burst with Cabernet back, sides and neck. A discreet, USA-made LR Baggs Element VTC pickup is also available.
