Thanks for the information!!! Like I posted the 1st time “LTG has a wealth of knowledge “ so if I understand correctly the jf26 is one to be strummed ? Due to the arched back? Not so much for fingerpicking,
If one had to boil it down to a nutshell, that's pretty fair, but technique counts more than construction in the end.Thanks for the information!!!

Those are the usual culprits but top bracing also plays a very large role in how the soundboard behaves.Hindsight is 2020! Most people would research before purchase but I Saw the JF 26 it just grab me the jumbo body I like it ,beautiful!but knowing now , hasty is a good word to use only because I’m trying to put down the pick and work on fingerpicking but as you stated Technique has a lot to do with it so hopefully it will produce the sound that suits my ear, which reminds me I was in the local shop last week and they had a 1930’s parlor all mahogany and could not believe the sound that little guitar produced this is due to type and age of wood?
others besides D-40 that are good for fingerpicking [/B]? Mistakes are okay to make but not twice
I don't really know.which leads me to another question will the guild 140 open up overtime as your D 40 understanding they are two entirely different animals
Right, at 15-1/4 lower bout width it's just considered an "F" body under Guild's old model number system.And I’m pretty sure the guild 140 is not considered a jumbo
To me single biggest issue would be the poly finish on the MIC's vs true NCL on 99%+ of all US-built Guilds prior to Oxnard.
That's the whole point, though.From the Savart Journal. Not an NCL vs. poly comparison, but interesting nonetheless.
And don't get me wrong, I don't doubt the findings, but that's also nothing compared to the years it takes for nitro to out-gas enough to start shrinking into the grain.Statistical analyses showed that all of the top coat finishes cured for seven weeks were equivalent with respect to their effect on the vibrational properties of the spruce bars."
After receiving my jf26 ,and having the chance to play and compare it to the other guitars I have,, l I fully understand the terms like “woody and soft edged , lush sounding chords “ which at this stage off my playing journey happens fit my playing style , guitar sounds amazing and is in beautiful condition !
I would like to take time to Thank all who responded to my questions! With the Information and knowledge you folks have I can see This is going to be quite the learning experience, which I’m looking forward to the education, This site is very cool!

Thanks again!
"Pepsi Fridays" but I don't think you can blame on the production line. The "special edition exclusively for GC" explains this and a marketing weasel probably came up with the ID. "One better than the otherwise almost identical 25".
Let’s clarify the “Pepsi” story because I’ve seen it misinterpreted too many times as a daily/weekly/bi-weekly/monthly/quarterly occurrence; it wasn’t. Only for the factory Xmas party was this nectar of the Calabrese gods passed around. One day. No more, no less.
I will stand corrected and if I tell the story again it will be because I can't remember squat. Thanks.
Boy, the last time I heard "squat" was in college back in the 60's. I wonder what the origin of that word is? Anybody? Al?
