The 17-inch-wide F50 jumbo harks back to Guild’s early days, first introduced in 1954 as a direct competitor to Gibson’s J200. Though Guild doesn’t offi cially use the ‘E’ suffi x in its US catalogue designations, we’ve included it here to clarify that our sample is the electro-acoustic version, fi tted with a Fishman Acoustic Matrix active endpin system which leaves the guitar looking like a regular acoustic save for the jack socket cum strap button. The battery is held internally in a velcro’d pouch near the heelblock.
