Is there any meaningful difference between the A25 and the F30 models?

It'seen my misfortune to have never met either model personally. Would I be correct they are both about the same size as a Martin 000 or Grand Concert?

Hello Jeff,

You could call them similar guitars if you don't include the F-30s from the '70s and '80s. Those were almost small jumbos.
They are both 15" across the lower bout (similar to a Martin 000-size) but they are not the same shape. I personally think that the F-30 is the better looking guitar but if you like a slightly wider neck and a longer scale, the A-25 might be the one for you. F-30s were available in a short and a long scale version depending on the period they were made in.

Hope this helps some.

Sincerely,

Hans Moust
