Very nice Blake! I'd be tempted if I hadn't received a F-30R and a F47MC in the past 3 months. Looks like someone is going to be lucky for such a great price. Best of luck!

It sure is pretty! Any idea what is going on with the saddle? It looks pretty substantial on the treble side and pretty low on the bass side?

Hey, i addressed the saddle in my description on the Reverb listing and on my website's listing. It could probably be shimmed on the bass side temporarily, until it was a good time to invest some money for a new saddle and set up. The string action is really low right now, causing some notes to buzz from the low strings. If you play fingerstyle or have a light strum attack, you may like how the guitar is set up right now.
