Good morning, Ken.
What am I missing here? The post title says F-65ce and the text in the body says D-60.
Enlighten me, please.

Thanks and Happy New Year, :D
Joe

**OK, you changed it that fast, probably while I was typing!!!

Overall Assessment: Neck plays like an electric, totally comfortable thinline body, great looking guitar

Most Appreciated Characteristic: It's thinness whilst still having a great acoustic sound, plugged in too
Least Appreciated: When the bridge pins dropped out during a gig (2 days after it was shipped to Europe from the US - humidity issue)
Favorite F-65ce Story/Moment:

Other observations/comments: Changed the bridge pins to ebony from the standard Guild plastic and it sounds amazing!

It's the best-playing and the best-sounding.

antique burst, they're amazed at the acoustic tone.
