Guild's USA guitars are stunning instruments in both appearance and tone. They are made in Southern California using original moulds and equipment from Guild's early days and stand amongst some of the finest acoustics in the world.

The F-40 Traditional brings the quality that always comes with Guild's USA models.  The guitar features an all-solid build utilising the classic spruce and mahogany combination.  If you have ever played one of Guild's jumbo-sized models, you'll know how awesome they are.  They have an impressive 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.  Inside the guitar we are treated to Adirondack spruce braces, which have been scalloped for a refined tone.  The look of the guitar is gorgeous, featuring a gloss nitrocellulose finish.

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.
