Guild F40 Valencia Grand Orchestra Acoustic Guitar

February 12th, 2009 by Jack Rock

guild2The Guild F40 Valencia is one of Guild's original flat-top acoustic models. First introduced in 1954, the F40 Valencia is unique in its slightly more compact body shape and more narrow shoulder area. It stays true to the original with a grand orchestra style body, full, well-balanced tone, and sensitivity. In fact, this guitar is so responsive to heavy strumming or light picking that it may not be suitable for a beginner. It is inevitable that as a beginner, you will make many mistakes as you learn, and you don't need an extra delicate guitar to discourage you. Features include solid red spruce top with scalloped red spruce bracing, solid mahogany back and sides, three piece mahogany neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, mother of pearl inlays, tortoise shell pickguard and bindings, bone nut and saddle, and Gotoh 700 Series nickel-plated open-back tuners.

The Guild F40 Valencia Grand Orchestra Acoustic Guitar is an extremely comfortable guitar that has great versatility and a tone that is incredibly full and rich. So, if you are in the market for an acoustic with a touch of class whose roots run deep in the guitar world, then the Guild F40 could be one for you.
