Guild F50r Atb Dtar
Product Info
Nothing sings out as bold and true as a Guild jumbo acoustic-electric guitar. They are the original Guild flat-tops, first manufactured in Manhattan in 1954. From the beauty of the spruce and the elegance of the rosewood to the depth of the nitrocellulose finish, Guild proudly stands behind their quality materials.
In 1965, Guild offered its popular F-50 in a rosewood version. Like those classic guitars, this F-50R Acoustic-Electric features a solid rosewood back and sides with the same vintage specs as its predecessor. It has a 4.8"-deep body, X" bracing pattern and a rosewood bridge. The F-50R has a completely different sound and warmer tone than its maple sibling, the F-50, and has been an instrument of choice for players such as Bonnie Raitt, Bryan Adams and Dan Hicks. Features the D-TAR Wave-Length/Load and Lock pickup system.
