Jumbo Body Shape
Guild jumbo acoustic guitars have been renowned for their robust sound for more than 50 years. Their large size and rounded bodies create a spacious internal chamber that produces a powerful bass response, making them especially popular with country, rock, and other guitarists that play with a moderate to heavy attack. The F-40 Standard Natural combines that large body shape with carefully selected tonewoods and forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack spruce top bracing to deliver a well-balanced tone with exceptional depth and projection. The ultra-thin Natural Vintage Gloss nitro lacquer finish has both satin and gloss qualities that highlight the natural beauty of the tonewoods and give the instrument a worn-in vintage look and feel.
Premium Tonewoods
The F-40 Standard Natural is meticulously constructed of the finest quality tonewoods. Wood choices and combinations contribute significantly to an acoustic guitar’s sound, and qualities such as hardness, density, and flexible strength distinguish different tonewoods. The F-40 Standard Natural guitar’s solid African mahogany back and sides provide warmth and an earthy richness, while a solid Sitka spruce top adds brightness and clarity, resulting in a powerful, well-balanced sound. The guitar’s mahogany neck topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and the Indian rosewood bridge complement the other tonewoods.
