So, I wrote recently about a 1971 F 50 NGD I had picked up. I'm still playing with this one and continue to be impressed with its sound, projection etc. I've both sold and bought some gear over the last few months which means that a music room re-arrangement is now in order.

But, for the time being I have the 71 F 50 hanging next to a 94 F 20. As I was watching TV last night I just kept coming back to the size difference. While I know it should not surprise me, that F 50 looks mammoth to me. I suspect it can't be any bigger than my other F 50's but I'm gonna have to measure to satisfy my own curiosity.

For some reason it makes me think of those huge guitars you see in a Mariachi band. A Guitarron maybe?

Holy crap. I tried to attach a photo to show them side by side but got a message the uploaded file is too large to process so you're just gonna have to trust me.

I know what you mean! I took a photo of my '84 D-64 right before I sold it to wileypickett, next to my '11 F-30RCE. No way it's as "dramatic" as your comparison, but it still struck me.

I got the same message about my photo, too, even though I've posted it before! Calling GAD!
