An uneducated question....."F" and "JF" what is the dif?

[fungusyoung]

Weren't there at least 2- 3 different sizes of F30's alone produced up to this point? I can't figure out why any manufacturer would have around a half dozen different sizes of guitars produced based on the same basic model designation ("F"), which is what Guild has done between the F20's, 30's, 40's & 50's.

It *is* a mess... no question about it. That said, I'm not sure it's any worse than any other traditional manufacturer. Even Martin has re-spec'd many of their models over the years despite *not* changing hands the way the rest of them did... Go figure, Fungie.

Maybe F48 = JF4?

Not exactly...Both are mahogany b/s jumbos. The JF-4 has pretty basic decor (b-w-b binding, only on the top, dot inlays and gold leaf logo, arched lam. back), while the F-48 has fancier decor (block inlays, w-b-w binding on both top and bottom, solid flat back and a Chesterfeild on the headstock).

There's suppsoed to be a GAD version.... [/quote]

Yeah, I briefly owned the GAD JF-48...great guitar! Sapele b/s, snowflake inlays, sweet tone...didn't survive the auto accident that also destroyed my beloved '78 Ford Courier and almost cost me my left leg (drunk woman talking on her cell)...
