... so I believe the F30R has landed!

More later... I still have quite a bit of work to do before knocking off for the week, and then my wife & I need to go out & grab a bite to eat.

Ah - so you're wining and dining her before you tell her about the new guitar :wink:


Not exactly... she answered the door :lol:.

The least I can do is get her a nice meal since she's so supportive of my addictions! :twisted:

One helluva nice guitar, and far exceeds my expectations.

It was a "can't say no" type of deal... caught it for a whopping $790/inclusive of shipping:

Arguably, the best guitar deal I've ever gotten.
And has a low playing mileage and the sound is like a miniture JF55. :D :D :D
Pretty loud for a small Guild! :D G ya! :lol:
Enjoy

By the way, I should have mentioned this previously, but... Treem was fantastic to deal with. Not only was this a great deal, but the guitar was in as pristine (or better) shape than described, shipping was hassle free & Treem's communication from sale through safe delivery was most appreciated.

I banged away on the guitar again last night, and I have to say that I'm simply blown away.

Funny thing is I never saw myself as a rosewood guy. My DV52 was one of the best sounding & playing guitars I'd ever heard, but I knew it's boomy overtones would be lost on a hack like me & would do much better in the hands of a better player.

Since then, I have acquired a Martin D-35 and now this F30R, and because of the Martin's lower key projection (compared to the DV52) and the F30R's smaller body, I have two amazing rosewood beauties.

I'll snap some photos & post them along with a more detailed review of the F30R at some point hopefully within the week. I can't wait to A/B it next my Martin 000-15, which is a similarly shaped/sized guitar.... though totally different construction (all mahogany).

Thanks again, Treem!!! :mrgreen:

Anyways... good times are here again :p .
