Guild 's ultimate jumbo guitar is here: the F-55 Maple with a solid Sitka spruce top, arched flame maple bottom and sides. Crafted on the same bow press that has been part of Guild production since 1985, the F-55 Maple offers precisely focused highs and pronounced mids - perfect for a full, meaty, harp-like sound. Performers have long prized maple for its ability to perform in a large room and avoid feedback issues found in bassier tonewoods, and the F-55 Maple doesn't disappoint. Elegant features include Guild's classic V-block inlays, gold Gotoh hardware and a beautiful nitrocellulose finish. The exceptional build quality and top-notch specifications make it a worthy successor to Guild's historic jumbo guitar.

The Guild USA series represents the spearhead of Guild's series produced guitars. Each instrument is hand-built in the Californian workshop and is subject to strict quality controls .
In July 2014, Guild began construction on a new, state-of-the-art facility in Southern California . The manufacturing equipment was shipped from the previous factory in New Hartford and brought into the new production facility. Ren Ferguson, a legendary luthier, has been named vice president of production and research and development. Ren Ferguson's experience with Guild and his many years of guitar building experience made him the perfect visionary to set up and design the new Guild factory. The instruments of the Guild USA series are now manufactured in this factory.
Guild is ushering in a new era of USA production . The interpretation of classic Guild designs through an innovative approach and the use of modern technologies ensures that these guitars feel and sound better than ever and are sure to be enjoyed by any serious guitarist.
