F30 Question.

[Graham]

We think this F-30 R NT-HG is a '95, which I think makes it Corona-built.

'95 would make it a Westerly, no?

Anyway that F-30 is a fantastic guitar!

This should make you happy....I don't about the price though....

Sadly it's a way out of my price range, there aint no way my budget could even think of stretching to that....

Thanks for all the info on the F30 guys, the search continues !!

Hi, in my limited experience a F30 Westerly and a F30 Tacoma are a bit different. I recently picked up a 98 build Westerly and it has a shorter scale and slightly smaller body dimensions from the Tacoma version. Both are great guitars, but are not of the same specs.
Cheers and good luck in your search,

Hey that's interesting. are either the same size as a Hoboken ? I heard they got heavier in the 70's ?

Have yet to come across an earlier model, either from Westerly or Hoboken. Does anyone know if the term Aragon applies to all of this model or only certain ones? And is it time to put in an order for an advance copy to Hans' new Guild Book yet? The more I learn, it seems the less I know.

Thanks, guys!
So, not to veer, (heaven forbid!) but is there something that indicates exactly what years Guild production was where?
