I’m starting to think about what I might wat to look for in the coming year. Did Guild ever make a maple backed F30 size guitar that would be worth looking for? I don’t care for the sound of anything much smaller, and really can’t play anything too much larger, but it all depends. I tried searching the interweb and saw reference to a GSR F30 maple, but my guess is that would be a little pricey.
Can't recall a maple-bodied version other than what you mention, but there's a wealth of opportunities in the 16" jumbo (F40 outline) size.
F40's, GF30's, F47M's to start, also F65ce (not to be confused with
JF65) which
was a top of the line but only 3-/12" deep, might be a good bet for comfort.
Even had 2 different scale lengths, were 24-3/4 with 1-11/16 nut until late '94 then transitioned to 25-5/8 with 1-5/8 nut.
Very comfortable.
Ask the man who owns one.
(And should be obtainable for sub $1500 with a little patience.)
