Guild F-40 Traditional Antique Burst Acoustic Guitar with Case
Had been looking at jumbos for some time - gibson j200 hate the moustache bridge and not keen on maple - Martin j40 is rosewood and quite nice - but have become a fan of mahogany for it’s warmth and clarity. So the Guild f40 looked like a good prospect - I had a d50 back in the seventies and loved it - it was stolen from me.
When I saw this one listed as B stock at almost half price it seemed too good to be true but worth a phone call to check it out. I spent a good half hour bending the ear of a very patient guy named Alex and we finally agreed it was worth taking a punt- it could always be returned.
Guitar arrived 2 days later well packaged in case, Guild box and Bax box.
In great condition, perhaps a little excess glue where heel meets shoulder but nothing to indicate any real faults.
Good setup, nice to play and lovely rich, warm tone. Great bass response. Very nice guitar.
Bax - helpful service and prompt delivery.
Many thanks😁
