There's not many of them around. The F-44 was one of the models of the Gruhn era of Guild design. In fact, some of the earliest ones have "Co/designed by G. Gruhn" typed across the Westerly label. This was one of those attempts to reverse the trend of heavily-built guitars from Guild.
They are very pretty. Smaller F-style body with a vintage-toned finish that, by now, will have turned a dark amber color on most of them. Back and sides are solid maple with major flame going on. The headstock is double-bound, with the G and "Guild" inlaid in MOP. Nice inlays in the fretboard, too.
Mine was pretty beat up when I got it. I had a lot of work done to "fixit" up and make it pretty again, but the tone was lacking and it was not able to scratch my maple Guild itch. ('88 D-30 now filling that role nicely) It's since moved on to a new home, where it is deservedly cherished.
Here's a photo of the back of my (used to be) F-44:
I'd say you have to play one and decide for yourself. Some folks love 'em, but some not so much.
