Introducing the Guild F-40 Standard—a modern jumbo with vintage character and bold, room-filling tone. Now finished in Guild’s new Vintage Gloss nitro lacquer, this ultra-thin coating blends the best of satin and gloss, giving the guitar a smooth, broken-in feel and enhanced resonance. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid African mahogany back and sides, and forward-shifted scalloped Adirondack bracing, the F-40 Standard delivers punchy projection, clear articulation, and rich dynamic response—perfect for everything from vocal backing to solo acoustic work. Vintage-inspired touches like a tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding, and the classic Guild peak headstock logo pay tribute to the rare F-48 Navarre from the '70s, while modern appointments such as a C-shaped mahogany neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, and 20:1 open-gear tuners ensure top-tier performance. Available in Natural or the stunning Pacific Sunset Burst, each F-40 Standard includes a Guild archtop wood case with built-in Humicase® humidification.
