NAMM 2020: Guild USA’s Jumbo Maple Guitars Now Available in Antique Burst

Oxnard, CA – The ultimate jumbo is now available in one of Guild’s most famous finishes: Antique Burst. Paired with flamed maple, both the F-55 and F-512 get a timeless new look, matching a fundamental aesthetic of the Guild family. The F-55 Maple and F-512 Maple feature 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 sharply focused trebles and an articulate mid-range, perfect for a full, centralized, harp-like sound. 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 and F-512 Maple do not disappoint. Elegant cosmetic appointments on each 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. Both models are now available in Natural or Antique Burst finish, and with or without LR Baggs Anthem Electronics.
