Product Description
Nothing sings out as bold and true as a Guild jumbo acoustic guitar. If you like the projection of a real jumbo acoustic, these guitars are for you! They are the original Guild flat-tops, first made in 1954. In 1965, Guild offered its popular F-50 jumbo model in a rosewood version the F50R, which has a completely different sound with a 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.
Today's F-50R features solid Indian rosewood back and sides, a 4.8"-deep body, X" bracing pattern and a sculpted rosewood bridge. Other features include a AAA spruce top, bound ebony fingerboard with traditional mother of pearl and abalone block inlays, G"-shield headstock logo, gold hardware and a pure nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

Heartbreaker
By Semper Fi
I ordered my new "black diamond" F-50 (built in Tacoma), delivered from Twin Village Music, Lancaster N.Y. In mid December of 2011. The guitar played wonderfully and it was love at first strum. You just can't believe how great this guitar feels in your arms. Around the first of February (2012) I noticed some finish delamination at the lower bout, near the strap peg. Horrified, I immediately called Twin Village, along with Elderly Instruments of Lansing, Mi. (the closest dealer to my home). Elderly didn't even want to discuss the unit (or warranty coverage) since I didn't purchase it there. Twin Village directed me to Eric DeBarr's guitar hospital (an authorized Guild repair facility). Eric inspected the guitar, and immediately called Guild. It was sent back to them from Eric DeBarr about three weeks later. They still have the guitar and told me a minimum of 90 days to repair/replace. Twin Village told me a refund was "not an option". So here I wait for the great sounding guitar with the finish peeling off to be returned to me, hopefully in better condition than it left. I certainly would've rated the guitar a "10" had I not had the delamination issues. We'll have to wait and see if Guild's product manager Dave Gonzalez will get this taken care of, or if I continue to wait.
