Robert, good question. The F models are louder acoustically, to my ear. The body size is bigger and deeper than a 330 or 360 body.

I think that the sound is definitely rounder, with more bottom end, but at the same time more mellow.

At the moment I find that the 345F is my "go to" guitar for almost everything. It has a great "played in" feel about it, just the right amount of bumps and bruises (so it doesn't feel like a museum piece) and that old Fireglo finish is just gorgeous. Image

Darren, that's one nice collection that you have, both the Rics and the others.

Thanks for sharing the pics.
