I'm really looking forward to trying one of these.
I really like the body size and the Adi top with the mahogany sides and back are a
great combination...at least on other acoustics I've owned.

I'm having a hard time trying to get my hands on one. I may have to buy online with a 24-48 approval.
There are a couple used ones I found. But not locally. They look really great and it's the body size I like.
The Adi top I know is a plus for me but with any guitar you got to try the one you want to buy.
They all have their own character. If I get lucky I'll post pics and a review. :wink:

I am assuming you are talking about those made in either Tacoma or New Hartford. Those are regular scale with an Adi top and scalloped Adi braces. I played a NH version before and yes they are very nice. The Westerly versions have straight braces with a Sitka top. They are also shortscale at 24&3/4" much like Gibsons. I much prefer shortscale for that size of guitar but that is personal preference. They are a little pricey new, but if you check the used market, you should find a good deal.

After doing alot of web searching, there seems to be a few F30 Aragons out there - used at a much lower price point.
But even new with the Adi top I think there are not far off of the mark price wise when you compare to Martin, Gibson, Santa Cruz, and Taylors to name a few - with an Adi top. It's about getting one in my hands so I can try one.
It seems to me that I may have to buy online.
I'm not gong to let that discourage my quest.

Have you been in touch yet with Bing (guitarsofmontana.com)? I'm sure he can get his hands on a new one for you, and he might even know of a recent used model.
