Something appropriate for a, uh, rock star, I'd guess.I gotta ask... what kind of guitar is the yard gnome playing? :biggrin-new:

The F-212 and F-312 were based on the F-47 body shape.

I do find the new F-40 (F-47) to be quite intriguing!
It's actually an F48: F50-sized with 'hog back.
They even name the F48 in the description...
The F47 was a 16" lower bout like the F40.
Sorry, it's my biggest pet peeve with 'em:
No REAL F40 (or 47).
Thanks Al. I knew that, and still goofed it up!
It would be nice if Oxnard would just call it an F-48.
Can't remember who I've converted and who I haven't, yet. :glee:
And a 1-11/16 nut!And better yet, give us a true 16" F-40, with a 24.75" short-scale!
Like an F45ce revival.
Full depth.

Cordoba, Do You Copy?Perfect!
Add a chesterfield logo, bound neck with block inlays, maple & rosewood versions, and electronics accessible through the soundhole.
Geez, I'm already drooling!

Hello Sal,
While your guitar has a bridge that is much more gracious than later '70s bridges it's not what's usually referred to as the 'cloud bridge'. The typical 'cloud bridge' has an extra 'dip' in the center of the belly as you can see in the next photo:

Rich, that is one snazzy guitar, man! Wow, an embarrassment of riches in this thread. That 5 piece tiger-stripe neck is honestly to die for! I'll bet it's kind of heavy though, no?
Wonderful. Yeah, super-snazzy!!!!
My JF-30-12 with tiger-stripe neck is (by far) my heaviest guitar, and it came with a custom shop case which is, literally, a back-breaking combination. But those necks are so gorgeous!
My 1997 45th Anniversary model (ex-richardp69) is based on a 1966 F-30,
Hello Rich,
I know that statement comes from an official piece of Guild literature, but it was written up by someone who obviously didn't know what he (or she) was
talking about!
And by the way, did you change the knobs on the tuners or was that done by the former owner?

Can you tell me about the falsehoods in the Guild statement? Rich Cohen
Hello Rich,
It's not that I don't want to answer that question, but really ......... did you ever take a good look at an F-30 from the '60s?
Other than the fact that they're both Guild guitars with 6 strings, can you tell me what the 45th Anniversary and an F-30 from 1966 have in common?
Sincerely,

Hans,
I should have taken out my measuring tape!. You're right of course. The 45th seems to be bigger, definitely deeper at the lower bout. Not to mention the flat back, use of ebony, etc.
