Anyone know anything about the GV 70?

One of the highest iterations of my beloved F40 body:
16" lower bout F-body; rosewood flatback, ebony board and bridge; snakehead w/G-shield headstock, abalone rosette.

The GV70 does not have a 17” lower bout. I believe it, the GV52 and GV72 are all small jumbo guitars, all with 16” lower bouts.
Then Gruhn is wrong when he says the GV-52 has a 17" bout. Glenn can you weigh in on this?
It wouldn't be the first time, and it was the JV's that got the 17" lower bouts.
I believe he did the same thing on the Fxxce's in one version I saw, called 'em 17" lower bouts.
They were all 16's.
I don't blame it on him personally, but bad editing.
And though he was kinda of familiar with Guilds, the company does keep us all thinking!
That one musta been from good ol' body buck #7.Lower bout on mine is 16" (16 & 1/8" if we're being exact).
I feel so vindicated?16"!
Yeah those're a dime-a-dozen compared to a GV-70.I wish. The seller on Reverb, after a few back and forths decided to hold on to the guitar. :heart-borken: He has a JF 55 for sale, but.....
