Welcome back! Do you still have your three Guilds? Are you enjoying them?

Hello!

Sorry about that!

Yup. I just measured the width of the body and the F512-12 is about 11 1/2 centimeters where the JF30-12 and JF-65 are 12 centimeters.

What d'ya think?

Dang that crucial eye of mine ! Lmao
This made my morning . Hahahaha .

Yes but I’m not too enamored with the F512-12 that went through “MIRC”. It’s a very “stiff” guitar (for lack of a better word). Whenever I use it for gigs, my left hand fatigues much more quickly.

I use Elixir Polyweb 10s. I’m wondering if I should try D’Addario 9s? What do you think?

What's a "centimeter"?

OK, 12 cm is 4.724 inches. Is that measured at the widest place, which is apparently at the bottom end? My JF30-12 is 5.25 inches (13.34 cm), so yours are seemingly less wide?

JF30-12

That's a bummer about the F-512. More likely it's a setup or neck issue than a string issue, GV... But, sure, try some uncoated D'Addario Phosphor Bronze and see if the situation changes at all.
