GV 52 en route.

[fuman]

Just bought a GV-52 on Reverb. Will update on arrival. I was next-to-last bidder on an F40 Traditional on eBay and dropped out on a great deal for some reason. The next day, my dream guitar fell in my lap. I’m really excited!!

Cool! Looking forward to your report.

 

[HeyMikey]

Oh yeah! Those are great guitars. Can’t wait for your NGD.

That explains the update I just got from Reverb. Great job glad someone here got it! I had been watching it for the past couple weeks. Great price too. Cant wait for some pics and a review

If it’s anything like my DV52 it ought to be a nice sounding guitar. Had no idea they made a jumbo version.

It is a jumbo body shape but there is only one size - 16 inch lower.

Was it an Oxnard F40? Were you aware those have 17" lower bouts?

I have owned GV-52 #87 since 2016. I think you’re about to be very happy! I’m looking forward to your report when you get it.

To Adorshki -- Yes; I have wanted a Guild for so long, and I was having trouble finding a GF-60 rosewood or a GV-52 and have heard great things about the new F40 Traditional. In the end I dropped out at a low price because I decided to wait for what I really wanted. I have been close a few times to getting a full jumbo, but this size has been on my bucket list a long time. I love the maple ones, but I already have a maple guitar of a similar size and I'm not quite ready to sell it.

 

[HeyMikey]

The widths are the same but depth of the GV52 lower bout is about 1/2 inch deeper than the GF60. To me the sound has a fuller bottom end but either series is outstanding.

Out for delivery today!!!!

Just looked at the listing. What a steal! Let us know how you like it.

I wait, patiently.

The rosette on that thing is dynamite. Great looking guitar.

 

[fuman]

I received it and it is gorgeous. I am so happy. Will have to wait to send picks and a full report because I am leaving town, but I am so happy to have this guitar.

Great to occupy your thoughts and gives you something to look forward to for many years. Guild Guitars - My Favorites.

You may recall I have an F65ce, same outline, shallow-body maple archback. My pipe dream is now an F47Rce with 24-3/4 scale and 1-11/16 nut. A unicorn.

Otherwise a GV52 is the ultimate expression of that shape. Or maybe a GV70.
