Hi
I've just got new family members.
JF30 and JF4!! :)

JF30 has arched maple back, maple neck and maple sides.
JF4 has stain finish, arched hog back, hog neck and sides are also hog.
Both tops are spruce.
They are sooo loud. I and neighbors can't sleep any more!!

I bought these ladies on japanese online market while I was in business travel and sent them to my house suddenly while my wife was at home.
She s just e mailed me... so now which one do u sell? All are fine. x)

Wow, you've got a bunch of beauties! I'd keep the JF30. After that, looks like you need a jumbo 12-string! 😁

Congratulations, Seiki-san! You have a stunning collection of Guild jumbos (I especially admire the F-50R Artist Award - Wow!).

I...sent them to my house suddenly while my wife was at home.
She s just e mailed me... so now which one do u sell? All are fine. x)

Ha-ha. Good to hear they are all safe! I did the same to my wife, once. But only once. I lived. ;)

What a fantastic collection!

I only have a JF-30!

The JF4 is really interesting - I never knew about those. I seem to prefer mahogany guitars over rosewood gutiars, so an arched-back mahogany jumbo appeals to me!

Seiki, that's awesome! Congrats.

I always wanted to try a JF-4, but never have! The collection is looking great!

Well... selling the wife isn't an option. 😂 Great collection. I am looking at my first jumbo. Which one is your favorite?

I was thinking to buy the current F40 that also have mahogany side and back but US dollar is getting higher against japanese Yen. F40 costs approx 25k us dollars.
One day i found my jf4 that's approx. 7k us dollars. I was lucky:)

Sore wa totemo jūyōna kotodesu, Yoshida-san!

I was not so great at that... Divorced 6 years ago! But, 13 guitars in the house! :D :D
Yeeees.
Acoustic guitar doesn't scream or yell like tempered women, only eases or comforts ourselves.

I prefer my 74s F50R.
Boomer, beautifully rings.
That F50R has bigger bracings than other my collection. I just wonder what makes so loud...
