I've had no experience with a GF maple and only a small amount of time playing dreads . That said, I really like my GF60's and I spend most of my time fingerpicking. The minijumbo is a style that has the potential to provide a very balanced sound and the indian rosewood of the body is also expected to provide a wide sonic range. Stands to reason that if you prefer a brighter sound with less emphasis in the bass that maple would be a good place to begin looking.
Perhaps the greatest limitation I can find with the GF's is that the neck is a bit thinner than say the F50. Not a problem for me with rather skinny fingers, but a Guild owning friend of mine finds it to be less comfortable for him to fret.
I just wanted to put in a good word for the GF's since they really can be great guitars for fingerpicking.
