Members AZMLII Posted January 7, 2017 Members Share Posted January 7, 2017 As some of you know, I've been searching for a new guitar to learn on. I started with a Epiphone AJ-200 which was too big. Then I switched to a Gretsch Jim Dandy which was comfortable, but the components are so cheap that it's frustrating. Last Thursday I was going by my local guitar store (The Minor Chord in Littleton, MA) and decided to stop in on a whim. I checked out a few guitars. Then I found a used Yamaha FS700S in excellent condition with a Access Stage One gig bag (also in excellent condition). Turned out to be a guitar that was originally bought from them, and traded in a few days ago. I was looking for something in the OOO/OM range, this guitar was close enough. It was freshly setup, had new strings, played well, and at $175.00 it was a deal I couldn't pass up. I even like the fact that the finish is darker than a new one. So I brought it home. I'm quite happy with it. Now I just need need to use it to get Folsom Prison Blues down. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice on my journey. Y'all are a very helpful lot. And sorry I didn't buy the Farida, I couldn't bring myself spend the money. - Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted January 7, 2017 Members Share Posted January 7, 2017 Good find and buy. That's what a new Yamaha FG230 cost me with a lesser (paperboard) case in 1972. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
