Nice F20 Lower price, no trade.

SOLD $995 + shipping. Send me your zip. More pics down lower post.With original case. I'm thinking of getting an archtop, one of the X series with the long scale. Possible trade deal + or - with the F20. No longer looking for trade. Bought an archtop. More Pics later. It's clean and good.

Howdy, what year is this from? I have a friend who is looking for a nice small-body acoustic. There's no way he would let go of his '56 X-50, but if you decide on an outright sale price, let me know!

It's a 1971. Long scale, 1-11/16 nut.
Probably have to be X200, X400, X500 to get the long scale I like... although, I might deal with a short scale version...

Let's see if this picture link works:
<blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/QNkmjHj"><a href="//imgur.com/a/QNkmjHj">View post on imgur.com</a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I think that pic link works, there should be a bunch of pics. I guess I'm at $995 + shipping ...send me your zip. Plays great, low action, no noticeable fret wear. A few dings but very good for it's age. Some rash on the back, the rest is pretty minimal. There's an end pin jack and wire installed. Original plastic end pin and cream colored string pins are included. I tried to hi lite the few dings in the pics.
Shipping $ are horrendous anymore... but I have a Fedex account and will make it low as possible.

That is the easiest way to fix an upside down TRC, just rotate the photo.

Jokes aside, that is a nice looking F20.

Thank you for the info. I didn't realize it was a long-scale. My buddy prefers shorties like his X-50, so that probably won't work for him. Good luck with the sale though!

No Problem, some are shorter scale, some are the longer scale. I prefer only the long scale, they just sound better to me, especially on the lower notes..

just want to add i have owned this long scale model alongside my ss model and they are completely different animals. the ss one has a skinny neck and small-body guitar sound. the ls has a beefy neck and sounds just like a dread/f-30 type sound, and the body is deeper. i actually sold my ls because it sounded so much like a dread, that i did not need it. a member here bought it (face to face) and seemed like a very happy camper. also the ls is much harder to find than the ss, ive only seen a handfull. glwts, swiveltung!
