I'd been watching this one, but decided not to bid.

The seller's feedback score was a big factor in holding off. The other was that I need a good cab.

 

 

 

I bought a brand new FGM100DY back in '91. I had the guitar, case, folding guitar stand, and intonation adjustment tool all in mint condition up until about 6 years ago when I sold it like a dumbass. I regret selling it to this day. I now have an S2170 which is very similar. I have only 2 complaints about my S2170... The pickups are {censored} and it needs a recrown/refret. I can't squeeze a good pinch harmonic out of the bridge pickup and the neck pickup has way too much bass. The frets are so worn that I can no longer get it to intonate. The only reason I keep it is I think there is something special about it. When I strum it, the whole guitar vibrates/resonates. I really think if I can get the pickups and frets straightened out it'll be something special.
