It features a solid Sitka Spruce top with Red Spruce bracing and solid genuine Mahogany back & sides that combine with its unique body dimensions to produce a strong, focused sound with excellent articulation. The 1-3/4" bone nut and full scale make the Guild F-30 STD ideal for everything from down-tuned fingerstyle pieces to folk style strumming. Other refined features such as a satin finished Mahogany neck with slim profile, ivoroid body binding and bone saddle and bridge pins round out the package to create a truly fine instrument.
