Was thinking the same thing Clyde - NH F30s have very distinctive voices & tones - mine do anyway.
But it's all the things together - nut width, action, tone, even the string tension seems different in as much
as the way the tip of the pick moves across the strings in the sweet strum zone - it's as if there's less resistance
string-to-string, just good "glide". Kind of hard to describe. Sure makes me want to play it.
Fretting, moving from note to note also feels like it takes less effort than any of the dreads or jumbos.
I don't get this with the Westerly mini-jumbo-bodied F30 btw - as mentioned, it plays pretty much like my GF25.
Not sure if it's a keeper.
There's a confidence thing too in picking up what you know is really-easy-to-play guitar, you know?
The only thing I struggle with a bit, I've mentioned this before, is physically adjusting to the smaller size
of it vs the NH F50 I typically just put down anytime we're having a jam session.
Body is more hunched over sitting and playing the F30.
Ray, bummer it didn't work out, but at least you gave it a shot.
