Nice, Woody. Glad you're enjoying the F-30R!!
Sone will have 4inch body width. That is a big projection difference. Just fyi.A late '90s short scale F30R is pretty much the only guitar I'm still looking for.
Walrus, that's a Standard series, right? Just fact-checking myself. I don't think New Hartford sold any "Traditional" F-30Rs.My 2011 F-30R is also my favorite (and only!) acoustic guitar! Age-related shoulder issues resolved as soon as I switched from a dread size guitar.

Thanks for that. The variation in body depth is an interesting quirk of these late '90s F30s. I wouldn't have a problem with the 4" body depth, which is truer to the '60s-era specs (my 1964 F30, which of course is mahogany back and sides, has a four-inch depth; on its own it projects fine).Sone will have 4inch body width.

New Hartford did make a slightly upscale F30 Aragon Traditional series with 1-11/16 nut and the Standard series F30 and F30R with 1-3/4.Walrus, that's a Standard series, right? Just fact-checking myself. I don't think New Hartford sold any "Traditional" F-30Rs.
I stand (sit) corrected! Wait, though... I was talking about an F-30R (rosewood, that is).... Did they do a Traditional version of that, Mikey? All I remember were the GSR(s) I saw. One had the most unbelievable bear claw figuring I'd ever seen.New Hartford did make a slightly upscale F30 Aragon Traditional series with 1-11/16 nut and the Standard series F30 and F30R with 1-3/4.
I don’t recall seeing a Traditional series F30R, but there were one or more F30 GSR’s with exotic woods such as cocobolo.I stand (sit) corrected! Wait, though...

There was also the 2010 GSR F30R with the bear claw top (I think I have one of these, but that's the subject for another thread). That model had the longer-scale neck (and 1 3/4" nut width).I don’t recall seeing a Traditional series F30R, but there were one or more F30 GSR’s with exotic woods such as cocobolo.
Gotta love an ebony fretboard. I can see the attraction!Full body shot for Cougar
My F30r is a loud box. I guess I mean a shallower width or depth translates to less deepness of tone. Less thunder.My experience with the jumbo models is that shallower bodies does not translate into less projection.

Remote control ? I always wanted one of those models .Yes, officially a Standard Series "F-30RCE". Since I removed the electronics, now unofficially an "F-30RC"!

I want it ! LolThere was also the 2010 GSR F30R with the bear claw top (I think I have one of these, but that's the subject for another thread). That model had the longer-scale neck (and 1 3/4" nut width).
I remember it being 4/4.25 ish. (I believe) all the 90s F30/F30r/F30RL/F30rl-ls were back to true 000/OM-ish dimensions.
And (before this site existed) I remember being flummoxed when my luthier showed me a 70s model that was closer to a mini-jumbo, and being quite confused.
