The F-55E brings the quality that always comes with Guild's USA models. If you have ever played one of Guild's jumbo-sized models, you'll know how fantastic they are. They have an awesome thump to the bass and a crispness to the treble. If you prefer things on the more-vintage side, once the strings wear in a little the tone becomes deader and they have so much vibe to them. This particular jumbo is built with solid spruce for the top and solid rosewood for the back and sides. It's an inspiring combination and these guitars are a true pleasure to play.
The look of the guitar is gorgeous, with an ebony fingerboard having a beautifully dark appearance that really makes the inlays shine out. Both the headstock and fingerboard are bound, the machine heads are gold and the finish is a hand-applied gloss nitrocellulose. This Guild really does look and sound the part - it's a truly fantastic jumbo and well worthy of becoming part of the Guild legacy.
The nut width on this guitar is 43mm and the neck is a C-shape, offering a very comfortable feel for most players - not too big and not too small. The saddle and nut are made of bone which allow excellent energy transference between the strings and the wood and the guitar comes complete with a deluxe humidified wooden hard case.
The factory installed L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup is a blessing for any gigging acoustic guitarist. With a guitar as beautiful as this one, it is imperative that the sound comes across as well as possible live. A combination of the excellent Element pickup and a microphone that is mounted inside the guitar give a wonderfully natural sound, all whilst remaining effective at avoiding feedback.
