Here is a review that I found on the internet:
Guild F65CE
I've owned my F65CE for about 4 ? years now, and I've grown to love just about everything about this guitar. The construction is superb, solid and meticulous. The inlays on the fretboard are bold in presence and yet subtle in design. It's just enough eye candy to remind you of its presence but not so gaudy as to be distracting. There are also double pinstripes that run down either side of the ebony fretboard right under the E strings, again...enough to let you know it's there but not too much so it's distracting. The curves of the body of the guitar are pleasing to the eye, smooth and comfortable while playing. Unlike a lot of other acoustic guitars with cut-aways, the cut-away on the F65CE is rounded, instead of ending in a sharp, easy to damage point. The curves highlight the unusual oval soundhole, which also has a double pinstripe running around it. The headstock is inlaid with the Guild shield, and it really makes the quality of the craftsmanship easy to see and appreciate. The hardware is all gold-plated, adding to eye candy a bit more. Another interesting aspect of the guitar is the rounded wood back, which helps to compensate for the thin body. With the aesthetics out of the way, let me cover the playability:
The F65CE is, hands down, the most comfortable acoustic guitar I've ever played. The thin body makes holding the guitar effortless. It nestles against your torso, almost becoming an extension of your body. The ebony fretboard feels solid and unbelievably smooth under the fingers, and yet it still has that tiny bit of "give" since it is unfinished wood. (any laminated fretboard I've played on, like those found on many Rickenbacker guitars, loses this give and just doesn't quite feel right.) The thin body also gives you an unbelievable amount of tonal flexibility, since you can easily control how much the flat-top is resonating by applying pressure to it with your arm. This guitar produces a surprising amount of awesome tone unplugged, but it still doesn't have the projection of a full-bodied acoustic, so playing it unplugged in a large social venue may not be the best choice unless you have it plugged in. If the audience you?re playing for is rather close to the stage and not too large however, you should be able to play it unplugged and still have it sound really good as long as you?re playing solo. If you try playing it unplugged on stage with a band, you'll find the F65CE tends get lost sometimes in everything else. I've found the ideal use for this guitar is as your primary guitar for practicing and composing at home. I've also found using Elixir Nanoweb strings really helps brighten and clarify the tone quite a bit.
