My new Yamaha FGX720SC

[rlawsha]

I just picked up a new Yamaha FGX 720SC at our local guitar shop. I haven't played for about 20 years and now I have the bug again. I tried Martins and Taylors in this price range but to me the Yamaha had a much better sound, it sustained better and I liked the tone a lot.

 

Why doesn't Yamaha list this model on their web site? Does Yamaha change the model number slightly from dealer to dealer to prevent price comparisons?

 

I paid $419 for it locally. I didn't buy it here but you can see a picture of it.

Quiet group here or elese there aren't many Yamaha fans around

congrats on the new guitar, hope you have fun playing it. Yamaha makes a decent instrument, I have one of their classical guitars, it was my first guitar.

I also like Yamahas, my first New Guitar was a Yamaha 12 string- sounded better than the Guilds of that time ( 30 years ago I bought it and I still have it )- they make a very good guitar and some of their upper end models give some of the priceier guitars a run for the money- theyve been around for over 35 years, and are well respected around the world as top notch , they make practically every Instrument you can imagine - I also recently starting playing again after about a ten year absence, ---congratulations on your new Guitar !

i don't know, but in a gutiar center ad that i got in the mail, there's a FG735S that looked real good to me. i searched for days, and it's still the only place i've seen it:(
