Introduced in 1954, the F-40 Valencia was one of the original Guild acoustic flat-top models. It has a unique compact body shape that sports a 16” lower bout (slightly larger than the F-30 Aragon) and a more narrow shoulder area (upper bout). It’s an incredibly well-balanced and responsive guitar that is sensitive to light picking or heavy strumming.
The latest F-40 Valencia has an original grand orchestra-style body based on the 1954 version and features a solid red spruce top with red spruce bracing, solid mahogany back and sides, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, bone bridge pins, tortoise binding, 1 11/16” nut and a pure nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
