Guild F30 Aragon £1249.99
Manufacturer's description
In 1954, we introduced the F-30 Aragon, the smallest of the original flat-top guitars. Initial models featured a unique body shape with a spruce top and arched maple back and sides. By 1959, the F-30 Aragon had a mahogany back and sides. During the late ’50s and early ’60s, it had become the guitar of the folk explosion, and to this day its compact body produces a bright, full sound perfect for the patio, campfire and coffee shop.
Our new orchestra-body model is based on the 1956 F-30 Aragon, with all solid woods, a red spruce top and bracing, mahogany back and sides, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, bone bridge pins, tortoise binding, 1 11/16” nut and lacquer finish. Available in Natural, Antique Burst and Ice Tea Burst.

You don't really need the vast soundbox of a J-size guitar to play an unplugged session (or to cheat with an internal pick-up and a specialist acoustic amplifier). Anyway, there are a lot of cheap jumbo copies on the market and your audience isnot going to be able to read the maker's name on your headstock, whereas there are very few chdeap OO or OOO size instruments about.. So why not use a more comfortable, intimate loking and non-intimidating guitar that will comfortablly fill a performance space and show yur real quality? People who do know something about guitars will straight asway view you with some respect and interest if you're packing a serious piece like this on stage.
