Now That's what an F-50R should look like. How about posting some recordings with it so we can all drool over the tone also?

Owning this is a little like standing in the circle at the Grand Ole Opry. Dave Van Ronk, John Denver, Bonnie Raitt, Dan Hicks...

I do love this F-50R, and can't stop playing it, and agree it's one of the best ever. I do like my best friend's Larrivee D-09 too; so far it's the best non-Guild I've played.

I see you have a Goodall. That's one I'd like to try some time, but I'm afraid I might like it too much. :wink:

No, though my father was from Edinburgh, and I've got a couple of rugrat Corgis like the Queen. From what I hear, mine are better behaved than hers.

Yep, the Goodall is a great guitar. Fit and finish is better than the Guild, overtones to die for. However, if push came to shove and I had to sell one or the other, the Goodall goes first - I like my F50R that much better!

Interesting. I've heard the exact opposite from others, though it's hard to imagine a guitar being that much better than an F50R.
