Namm 2014

Those are orchestra models (OMs) .. not the 00 body size.

Sorry, my bad! I always confuse the size, the Martin OMJM and 000-28ec have the same body shape, but you are right, that is 000 and not the smaller 00...Now in the Martin world a 00-28 would be that kind of Parlor size: http://www.dreamguitars.com/products/martin/martin_00-28_35964/images/front.jpg But what is a Guild F-20 size? That wouldn't fit in that 00 size?
So that means Guild doesn't have a 00 at all, or?

I was wondering if Kim Keller was at NAMM...seeing Amy behind DD wearing what look like credentials, I guess the answer is probably YES!

I don't know the body measurements for the Guild F-20, but I believe it might be a tweener of the Martin 00 and 0 size. Here are the Martin specs for the 14 fret and 12 fret 00s respectively ..

Total Length 38 5/8" 37 3/4"
Body Length 18 7/8" 19 5/8"
Body Width 14 5/16" 14 1/8"
Body Depth 4 1/8" 4 1/16"

Right, if you go to minute 1:02 to 1:08 in the second of the two videos you see Kim appearing smiling right in the background from Doyle.

Wow, I'm surprised at the amount of runout on that Orpheum above…

At the price point of an Orpheum, I'd expect no runout.

Yep, I'm a real anti-runout guy. While I know it doesn't affect tone or structural integrity, I just don't like that look.

Not from New Hartford. Unfortunately the only small bodied Guild now in production is the M120 which is built in China.

Doyle is so awesome. Nobody plays a 12 like that. It's always a humbling experience.

On a critical note, I'm hearing a bit too much chorus for my taste. I presume that just Doyle's choice. I know, I know... how can I possibly complain about chorus on a 12-string?
