Default Yamaha

Hi all. I'm brand new to the forum and I love it!
And I love my Yamaha acoustics. I've got 2 FG-340s
made in Taiwan in 1981 and they rock. They are all
laminate and have the "3 piece" back and nice binding
on the fingerboard and headstock. They even have really
nice grain on the headstock and are pretty inexpensive.
Made in Japan FGs have a big reputation (and price)
and I'm sure are awesome, but every Taiwan made FG I've
played has been great (for the price).
I've also got a new(ish) LLX6 made in Taiwan and it has great tone
and is easy to play. It's got a great solid Engleman spruce top
and beautiful laminated rosewood back and sides.
It looks and sounds great.
Yesterday on Ebay I won a 1981 L-15A, all solid wood and handmade
also made in Taiwan. So wish me luck on that!
And I think the new FG 730s is great for the price.
The new FG700s and FG 720s are also great for their
(cheaper) price, but I've found the FG 730s to be a lot better made,
more consistent, easier to play and better sounding.
Well, I won't go as far as to say, "You can't go wrong
with a Yanaha". But I will say, "I can't go wrong with a Yamaha!"
