Hey guys, i am hoping the LTG community can help me identify this guild, and get some more information on it. A guy wanting to buy one of these sent me these pics. It is a F20 with a maple arch back. I had never heard of this. Can anyone confirm this is accurate? What were the production years? I have seen the blue F20 maple backs from the 1980s.

Blake, it's legit because Toni (Lady Texan) had/has one and I was always very covetous of her maple F20!! They're so beautiful. That's all I know. You rarely ever see them.....

They’re both super sweet looking, but that sunburst just sends it over the top!

Oooooh, those are really neat. I assume that arch back gives it a nice extra bit of projection? Very, very nice.

Thanks, Tom and Sandy and Steve and Jamie, for letting me know there was a current thread about my blonde F20. It is a great little guitar with a big crisp maple sound. Very comfortable to play. AND, it's pretty, too! ;):love::cool:

Glad to see you back and glad we are all looking out for you.

OK wow you guys solved that in no time. Thank you for the help. I will share what i have learned with the guy who is looking for one. Sounds like he will have to get in line, and should expect to be waiting for years.haha

If he opens the bidding in five figures maybe he can advance in the line :)
