About Guild
Guild's signature excellence in acoustic flat-top
guitar design has made its name synonymous with fine quality
and craftsmanship.
From three models introduced in 1954—the F-30 Aragon, F-40 Valencia
and F-50 Navarre—Guild founded an acoustic empire. The famous
D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee and D-50 Bluegrass Special dreadnoughts
were introduced in 1963 (at the insistence of Guild veteran
Mark Dronge, Al's son), and Guild's flagship dreadnought, the
D-55, first appeared in 1968. These guitars and many other Guild
six- and 12-string acoustic flat-tops enjoyed widespread use
and acclaim from artists and amateurs alike well into the ensuing
decades.
The Guild F50R with DTAR
Pick Up System
Nothing sings out as bold and true as a Guild jumbo acoustic
guitar. They are the original Guild flat-tops, first
manufactured in Manhattan in 1954. From the beauty of the
spruce and the elegance of the rosewood to the depth of the
nitrocellulose lacquer finish, we proudly stand behind our
quality materials. If you like the projection of a real
jumbo acoustic, these guitars are for you.
In 1965, Guild offered its popular maple F-50 in a rosewood
version. It had a completely different sound and warmer tone
than its maple sibling, and it has been an instrument of
choice for players such as Bonnie Raitt, Bryan Adams and Dan
Hicks. Like those classic guitars, the new F-50R with D-TAR™
Pickup System features a solid rosewood back and sides with
the same vintage specs as its predecessor, a 4.8”-deep body,
“X” bracing pattern, a rosewood bridge and the D-TAR®
Wave-Length™ Load ’N Lock™ pickup system. Available in
Natural (821), Antique Burst (837).

DTAR Pick Up
System Explained
The Wave-Length combines a thin, piezo under-saddle
transducer with an 18v, low-noise, high input impedance
preamp, to create a system with twice the dynamic range of
typical 9v systems. The 18v preamp is powered by two “AA”
batteries and a voltage converter. With 18 volts, the signal
has more headroom, so hard strumming won’t distort as
easily. The preamp also has an input for a second source,
like a magnetic pickup or a soundboard transducer.
Two adjustable trim pots, one for low frequency shelving and
one for high frequency shelving, allow you to fine tune and
“set and forget” the bass and treble frequencies to optimize
the Wave-Length for your instrument’s size and shape;
enabling you transparently amplify the natural timbre of
your acoustic guitar with minimal coloration. The soundhole
mounted Volume and Tone controls give the ultimate in final
control your tonal palette.
But perhaps the coolest part of the system is D-TAR’s new
Load ‘N Lock system, which allows quick and easy “AA”
batteries changes. Just unscrew the endpin “collar,” remove
the old batteries, and pop in the new ones. A quarter turn
of the collar is all you need to lock them in place.
Controls Volume and Tone Controls Surface Mounted Inside the
Soundhole, Two Adjustable Trim Pots in the Preamp, One Low
Frequency Shelving and One High Frequency Shelving
