Manufacturer's Description

Modern Build With a Vintage Feel

Guild’s new 40 Standard Series introduces our new Vintage Gloss nitro finish. This all-new finish is an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer with both satin and gloss qualities that highlight the natural beauty of the tonewoods.

Featuring a smooth closed-pore texture and a hand sprayed soft, silky coating the Vintage Gloss finish gives each guitar a worn-in vintage feel and tone with a sleek, modern appearance.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top With Solid African Mahogany Back and Sides

Achieve incredible clarity, balance and volume with our jumbo-sized F-40 Standard. With it’s solid Sitka Spruce top with solid African Mahogany back and sides, the F-40 Standard serves up a robust tonal palette that’s perfect for anything from vocal accompaniment to solo work, and many other “unplugged” applications. Its predecessor, the F-48 Navarre, was only produced from 1972 to 1976 and original versions are a rare treasure. Today’s version manifests the same vintage charm with timeless appointments such as a tortoiseshell celluloid pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild’s peak logo inlay on the headstock.

Scalloped Adirondack Spruce Bracing

Guild adds forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack bracing for power, nuance and responsiveness. Combined with a Sitka Spruce top and African Mahogany back and sides, this bracing provides a punchy tone with smooth top end.

Indian Rosewood Fingerboard and Bridge

An Indian Rosewood fingerboard caps the comfortable C-profile Mahogany neck. Premium materials such as an Indian Rosewood bridge, 20:1 open-gear tuners, and a hand-cut bone nut and saddle finish off the F-40 Standard.

Available in Natural and New Pacific Sunset Burst Finish Options

In addition to the classic Natural finish, Guild’s new 40 Standard Series debuts the new Pacific Sunset Burst. Inspired by Guild’s Southern California home, this new finish embodies casual elegance with a subtle edge burst. Each F-40 Standard ships with a Guild archtop wood case with built-in Humicase® humidification system.
