1978 Guild F-50 Jumbo Acoustic Guitar Blonde w/ Case, Westerly USA
Up for sale, a 1978 Guild F-50, complete with a hardshell case. Crafted at Guildās Westerly, RI factory, this jumbo bodied acoustic features a solid Sitka spruce top, curly maple back/sides, maple neck, and bound ebony fingerboard, finished in Blonde gloss nitro lacquer and benefitting from a professional neck reset.
This F-50 Standard measures 17" wide across the lower bout, offering bold projection with plenty of muscle, excellent string-to-string definition and snappy note attack. The low end has a broad, relaxed quality, and the overarching sound has the detail and rubbery treble cut of maple, tempered by a top thatās had almost a half century to open up and offer a smooth, woody character. This F-50 weighs 6lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mikeās Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.

-Wood: Maple (two-piece, walnut stringer)
-Shape: Chunky C, measuring .885ā 1st fret, 1.010ā 9th fret
-Fretboard: Ebony, abalone/pearl block inlays
-Frets: Medium jumbo, leveled/crowned, light wear on frets 1-7
-Scale Length: 25 1/2ā

-Bracing: X (straight)
-Bridge: Ebony, compensated bone saddle (upgraded), replacement low E bridge pin (original included)

Further cosmetic wear is limited to one ding on top at the bass-side lower bout, minor scuffs on the rims, and various lesser nicks consistent with use. The gloss on the neck profile exhibits a few shallow marks that have been buffed smooth and are not distracting to the palm while fretting, and a piece of binding is missing from the treble side headstock edge.
