{"product_id":"05-2800005094503","title":"[SN 125078] USED Guild \/ F-50R, manufactured in 1975 [05]","description":"The “Guild F-50R,” Guild’s flagship jumbo model from the 1970s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis instrument is a high-end flat-top guitar that symbolizes the company, crafted during Guild’s golden age after the company moved its production base from New York to Rhode Island.\u003cbr\u003e \nPositioned as the top-of-the-line jumbo model featuring a rosewood body, the F-50R has continued to earn high acclaim from that time to the present.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIn addition to the classic configuration of a spruce top with rosewood back and sides, the sound produced by Guild’s signature thick body construction is highly distinctive, featuring deep, resonant bass, a powerful midrange\u003cbr\u003e \n, and bell-like, brilliant highs—all coexisting in perfect balance. A single strum produces a rich, full sound that seems to envelop the entire space.\u003cbr\u003e \nEven when compared to Martin or Gibson guitars from the same era, Guild’s appeal lies in its “more powerful and direct” sound, and this model is no exception—it demonstrates outstanding presence for chord strumming and singer-songwriter applications.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, the solid neck grip and highly rigid construction characteristic of 1970s Guild guitars provide a reassuring playing feel that stands in contrast to today’s preference for lightweight instruments. When properly set up, this model—despite its jumbo size—combines stable pitch with dynamic expressiveness.\u003cbr\u003e \nVisually, the imposing jumbo body, accented by a beautifully aged spruce top and the grain of the rosewood, exudes a vintage elegance that is a major draw.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAs part of Guild’s highly acclaimed F Series—and positioned at the top of that lineup—this instrument allows you to experience a “sense of scale in its tone” that transcends that of a mere large-sized acoustic guitar.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis vintage jumbo combines practicality with a commanding presence, allowing you to fully appreciate the charm of 1970s American acoustic guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* Repair history: Bridge reattached, bracing reattached, frets leveled, neck straightened\u003cbr\u003e \n* Pickup has been installed (hole at the endpin enlarged).
