Awesome Guild F-55E for the singer/songwriters! This bold classic is one excellent sounding and playing guitar, doing all the picking and strumming you need.

The Guild F-55E is the flagship jumbo in Guild’s most famous finish: Antique Burst. A premium Sitka Spruce top paired with an arched flamed Maple top, the F-55 gets a timeless new look, matching a fundamental aesthetic of the Guild family. This 2022 build F-55 features a tight grained solid Sitka spruce top with arched flamed maple back and flamed maple sides. Created on the same arch press that’s been a part of Guild manufacturing for decades, the F-55 Maple provides big depth in the low end, clarity up the neck and an articulate mid-range, perfect for a full, centralized, harp-like sound.

Guild is known the F body which has been Guild’s Jumbo for a long time and Guild is famous for this model which has many fans, amongst an almost endless list of famous player like Barry Gibb. Buddy Guy, David Byrne, Jerry Garcia, John Denver, Richie Havens and Sheryl Crow. Performers have long revered Maple for its ability to sing over a crowded room and resist the feedback problems of boomier, bassier tonewoods, and the F-55 Maple does not disappoint. Elegant cosmetic appointments include classic Guild “V-block” inlays, gold Gotoh hardware, and a beautiful Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Exceptional build quality and premium specifications make it a worthy heir to the historic Guild jumbo legacy.

Her condition is excellent. Here is a sound impression played by Curt Cambers:
