I've been playing the Guitar on and off for the past fifty years for my own enjoyment. After doing my research I decided on the Guild F55E Maple which I purchased with the help off a small inheritance. I will start by saying that this Guitar plays like a dream, with a sound that beggars belief. The Neck is slim and effortless to play, with a super low action and a 12 inch radius Fretboard, giving it the feel off an Electric Guitar. There is nothing I don't like about this Guitar. If your in the market for a Guitar like this, I recommend that you at least try the F55E Guild Jumbo, guarantee you won't be disappointed.
