So I checked it out yesterday......couldn't wait till Tuesday.

Here's my pros and con review:

All maple kind of dull hollow sounding if you know what I mean.
?????
You just mean the body, right? Guitar in ad clearly has a sitka top, and never heard of F45ce's getting maple topsnot that it means they never built one, LOL!
But only ever heard of those on F65ce's, it was optional and the early onesdid get the 24-3/4 scale.
And the maple-topped F65ce's do have a rep for being sonically underwhelming in unplugged mode, suspect the tops on those were intended to help suppress feedback at volume.
Oh well in any case you got a feel for what those were, and it's possible it was simply a "dud", or might even explain why Guild went to 25-5/8 scale on the last generation of "Fce's"
