The GFVT is equipped with a nylon insert and easily accessible tension screw for ultimate control of bar tension. It features an embossed “G” for classic Guild DNA.
Rich, vintage tone with modern bite
Outfitted with a bridge HB-2 Humbucker with Alnico II magnets, the HB-2 was developed to recreate the rich, warm tone of vintage Guild humbuckers in a standard size format. The HB-2 is paired perfectly with the chiming single-coil tones of the two DeArmond Aerosonic middle and neck pickups. The five-way blade selector switch allows you to access each pickup independently, while master volume and tone controls let you shape your sound to perfection.
