This might be one for Hans, but I'd like to get some idea of how rare F20's & F30's (Westerly era preferred) were made with maple sides/back.
Here's one from New Hope, but it's much more than I want to or can spend:

Any other options for maple sides/back in this size? I think all the F40's are quite a bit larger, no?
Thinking of selling of my GF30 because it's larger bodied than I expected it to be for a mini jumbo. Feels much closer to a jumbo. There's minimal difference between it & the JF30-12 I owned in the past in terms of body size/depth so as awesome as it sounds, it just isn't comfortable enough for me to consider playing it out regularly. I'll probably also sell my Little Martin travel guitar since I don't need to travel much anymore by air.
Love maple & have an all mahogany 000 that I love, so I'm thinking another small bodied guitar would be cool. Might go with a Gibby LG-1 if (which is also mahogany) if I find the decent F20's & F30's to be priced higher than I expected.
