Is it true that a 1968 F-30 NT has laminated (mahogany) back and sides ?
I'm looking at a 1968 F-30 NT. But read a 1968 F-30 NT is described as laminated (mahogany) back and sides, as below:
http://www.retrofret.com/products.asp?ProductID=6473
But I see there're center bar and braces on back (mahogany) on almost all 1968 F-30 NT.
Is it true that a 1968 F-30 NT has laminated (mahogany) back and sides ?
Any input would be much appreciated.
And a bit more questions:
The dimensions the seller provides are as below:
Overall length is 40 3/4 in. (103.5 cm.), 15 1/4 in. (38.7 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1/4 in. (10.8 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 1/2 in. (622 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11/16 in. (43 mm.).
Question:
1, nut width
============
The following two sellers say it has 1 5/8'' nut width.

https://www.gregsguitars.net/guild-f30nt-aragon-for-sale.html
But that on retrofret.com is claimed it's 1 11/16''.
2, scale length
============
Gruhn's Guide to vintage guitars(p376) says F-30, 24 3/4'', 1959. But this on retrofret.com is claimed 24 1/2''. SO SHORT ? I'VE NEVER SEEN. GUILD REALLY ?
