F-50 Standard
ABOUT THIS MODEL
The largest of our model offerings at 17” wide, the Fairbanks F-50 tips its hat to the 1940s-era ‘King of the Flattops’: the J200. Braced in similar fashion to the rest of the Fairbanks line, it avoids the trait that earned some of the originals the nickname ‘whispering giant,’ and very nearly vibrates off one’s lap with rumbling insistence in its own superiority over any lesser guitar within earshot.

F-50 DeLuxe
ABOUT THIS MODEL
The F-50 DeLuxe is the F-50 in its finest expression. The same commanding presence as the Standard but elevated with the appointments reserved for an instrument meant to be handed down.
A natural finish lets the fancy Maple back and sides, and 3-ply neck speak for themselves. Add the unique split diamond fingerboard inlays and Super 400 style ivoroid-bound headstock, and it’s crystal clear that you’ve arrived with some hard-drinking and truth-telling songs to sing. Saddle up.
