Sound

No Opinion
Suits any style as it's versatile that's why I like it sounds good strummed solo'd fungerpicked and sounds good in open tuning. particularly good when single notes soloing and sounds great when capoed it didn't dissapoint me with any style. Sounds bright with a nice timbre/tone.

Guitar is set up well but I tweak every guitar I have ever owned a little including this one do yourself a favour get all your guitars set up by someone who knows what they are doing. Some of the frets were a teeny bit sharp edged which I don't like and suprised me.

I've been playing 23 years I own a Martin Westside Custom acoustic as well as a Fender '66 Jaguar and Epiphone 335 and a Vintage SG. I have a Yamaha 400a acoustic which sounds great and a Framus Gaucho I use the Yamaha fgx720sc mostly I would get another if I lost it. I compared it to lots of guitars under ??500 and found this and the FG750s to be the best around. My fgx720sc is very comfortable to play feels right sounds great be nice if it had the inbuilt tuner.
