If there were only one guitar I could grab if the house was on fire it would be my FGX700SC. It has a very bright sound like the Taylor 100 series but with better sounding electronics.The finish is good but not perfect. A little more clear coat in the cracks than an expensive guitar would have but what do you expect for a cheap one. The tuner is dead on with my Snark and allows fast alternate tuning without a head stock tuner. The set-up was great right out of the box with a brighter sound than a FGX730SC. Excellent playability with very little fret buzz. I am missing fewer notes with less effort. I detuned 4 steps to try it out as a barritone and it has excellent tone and playability. Played acoustically it has great tone but amplified is where the 3 band equalizer really shines. The only down side is the frets are a little high when sliding on the strings but that is going to get corrected real soon with a fresh set-up. This will allow any beginner to play a great sounding instrument. I still love a Fender, Martin, or a Taylor but this is a great buy if you are on a tight budget. This is going to become my travel guitar because of it's size and weight. The body is a little larger than a standard dreadnaught so standard dread cases didn't fit. I had to use a gig bag for the case. This is an excellent value. You could buy one for each tuning at the price.
This guitar has an amazing bright sound. Right out of the box it sounded lovely. The tuner is very nice and accurate, the electronics are very nice. I have played many acoustics and this one is one of my favorites. It's a great guitar all in all!
I loved the FG700 so much, I bought this guitar. They are the same but for the electronics. Both have a bright sound that projects well even when not amplified. The FGX700SC's electronics let me deepen that sound when plugged in. The tuners are average. The Frets are level, but I note (as with the first guitar) it plays better if you take the time to sand the saddle down so that the Big E string is 6mm and the small e string is 4.1 mm measured at the 12th fret. I've also replaced the nut and saddle with TUSQ parts, and that makes it sound warmer with better sustain. Both TUSQ parts are cheap and well worth it. I've played Taylor's that cost twice as much that sound about the same. Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, and I often do. pros: bright clear sound, good electronics. cons: needs nut/saddle upgrade NB: you will love any guitar more if you spend time working on it.
