Up for sale, a 2010 Guild F-30R Standard in near-mint condition, complete with the original hardshell case and owner’s manual. Produced at the New Hartford, CT factory as part of the Guild Standard Series, this finely crafted (and discontinued) Guild orchestra body acoustic is faithful to vintage construction techniques, featuring all solid woods, a Sitka spruce top with red spruce bracing, and a nitro lacquer finish.
Tonewoods include solid Indian rosewood back/sides, one-piece mahogany neck, and Indian rosewood fingerboard, measuring 15 1/4″ across the lower bout with a body depth of 4 1/2″. This F-30R Standard offers ample projection and detail, with a crisp, punchy quality on the plain strings and a round, full bass register.

This F-30R Standard weighs 4lbs 11oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
