generaldreedle Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi all, just got a Guild JF-30 Maple from about 1993. Love this guitar, a great complement to my Southern Jumbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Yup, the JF-30 is a very nice guitar. Mine is a '94. Congrats & enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Tidy looking guitar. Congrats! Maybe the pic angle but the neck radius looks tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Well done! But ai am a bit biased as I will always have a soft spot for Guilds. Back in the 1960s the were often our first "good" guitar occupying that sweet spot in price between a Harmony Sovereign and Martin D-18. or J45. And in the 1970s they were a shining star in what is generally considered not the best decade for acoustics. So congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is for some people but it seems really easy to play for me. I'm strumming and finger picking blues stuff but truth be told so far it seems like a great all around guitar. I've tried some flatpicking and it sounds just as good. First Maple guitar too and I can tell the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
