The unique Guild F-47M Grand Orchestra Acoustic Guitar is one of the more versatile instruments available to players today, utilizing the classic grand orchestra body shape but with extra body depth resulting in an unusually big, balanced tone with superb projection. The scalloped braced red spruce top and flamed maple body produces a clear, articulate sound with excellent note separation. During the late ’50s and early ’60s, Guild small body acoustics were the definitive guitars of the folk explosion, and to this day the full, balanced sound of a Guild orchestra or grand orchestra model is perfect for nearly any style of playing, both in live performance or recording.
