A 30R, Any idea what it represents… By GuildNice review by GP. I’m certainly a fan. I’d love to see a US made series again.
Thx'....makes since, I think?The F30R had a rosewood back instead of the more common mahogany.
Was pretty sure Yamaha built this guitar for Guild, workmanship is superb

Fender, not Yamaha. This was 1998
Ooooo. A newbie as of Saturday and Frono The Avenger is on the hunt ! Who is actually the wolf in sheep’s clothing ? Hmmmm , so we wait as the popcorn pops and eat our tasty nuggets ! Stay tuned for episode 2 of Yamaguild , Cape or no Cape !Any chance you posted this in the wrong thread?
If you did not post in the wrong thread and thus are suggesting that Yamaha made F30's for Guild in the late 1990's I'm going to say you are full of misinformation as politely as I can and ask you to explain why you believe that.
Even then, while Fender owned the company, the Westerly factory only made Guild branded instruments.
I'm hoping the post was operator error and not a statement of alleged fact.
Though this points out the very Guild-ness of both guitars.Guild should bring back the F-30!
Although I will say the current F-40 traditional sounds pretty tempting.
Also most if not all of the older F-40s I've seen for sale on reverb and such have been maple. But I'm just saying the larger body, current mahogany version does sound absolutely fantastic, and as I have a maple F-50 would be a good different sound.The current F40 Traditional, which isn't the "traditional" F40 vs the F30 which exists in multiple incarnations: short scale 000, long-scale 000/OM, more or less mini-jumbo.
GG has a great NGD write up on that model, it does sound like a winner, I am tempted myselfthe current F-40 traditional sounds pretty tempting.
Check out the demo Trevor Menear did for Guild. It sounds like it just might be the ultimate hog guitar, well balanced etcGG has a great NGD write up on that model, it does sound like a winner, I am tempted myself
