Guild F40 Atb
Product Info
Introduced in 1954, the F-40 Valencia featured a compact body shape (slightly larger than the F-30 Aragon) with a spruce top and arched maple back and sides. It’s an incredibly well-balanced guitar, sensitive to light picking or heavy strumming.
The new F-40 Valencia has an original grand orchestra body based on the 1954 F-40 Valencia model, with all solid woods, 16” lower bout, red spruce top and bracing, mahogany back and sides, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, bone bridge pins, tortoise binding, 1 11/16” nut and lacquer finish.
