I had been looking for an orchestra size acoustic for a little while. I was actually thinking of getting a Martin - a friend has a 000-15M that I love. Just hadn't found a nice deal on one yet. Anyway, a 1999 F30-NT HG popped up at my local Guitar Center yesterday. Condition - "Good" which usually means so-so or worse, I went to see it more out of curiosity than any sense that I would buy it and much to my surprise I fell in love with the guitar and bought it. It is very light and has super even, resonant sound and it turned out it was pretty much mint with a very clean factory case. The neck block is dated December 15, 1998 so I'm quite sure it would have left the factory in 1999. I actually don't know much about this reissue model. If anyone has any knowledge to share please do! This guitar has a nicely installed K&K mini duo pickup, not sure if this was factory or if it would have been installed by a previous owner. Pics below.
