In 1965, Guild decided to offer the popular F50 in
a Rosewood version. Like those classic guitars, the new F50R features solid
Rosewood back and sides and has the same vintage specifications as the F50; 4.8"
body depth, "X" brace pattern, and Rosewood bridge; but the
sound is completely different. With a warmer tone than the Maple F50, the
F50R has been the choice of players like Bonnie Raitt, Bryan Adams and Dan
Hicks.
