Furch Stonebridge body type dilemma
Welcome again,
This time I’m looking for your knowledge of the Furch/Stonebridge body types and names. Furch uses quite obvious and easy to decipher naming method, where letter refer to body shape and type. D stands for dread. G for Grand Auditorium. Added c means a cutaway. My observation is that this scheme is followed by Stonebridge. Yet, I’m looking at a guitar which says GS 23 sr. It’s a Stonebridge. What does the “s” stand for? Grand symphony? Or, is it simply indication of Stonebridge? And a typical g body shape? What say you?

G body shape is Grand Auditorium. Maybe the GS is the Grand Symphony so I assume it's a tad bit larger.

The last two will typically denote top and back woods. SR will be Sitka and Indian Rosewood.

The only shape variation I’m aware of is the deep body option on the OM. Otherwise, you’ll be rock solid on dimensions.

I should have been more precise.
I know the wood combo code. Sr. Spruce rosewood. The thing I’m not sure about is the s next to G.

Perhaps follows the same convention as the GSc?
