Handcrafted in Japan by master luthiers with over 80 years of experience, the FY70ce features an solid AA Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides for balanced warmth and projection. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable feel whether playing chords or single-note melodies.

    Will be a practice guitar for me as I get back into playing. String tension is moderate compared to my D21. Frets are low. Should be a great guitar for a finger picker or light touch strummer. Clear tone; bass a little light yet. Will open up. Good tone through my Fishman Loud-ex mini. Again - great value for the price. Hard case is a bonus!

  • Great guitar for the money.

    I will use this guitar daily in my home studio and occasional public venue. The number one quality of this instrument is the comfort of the neck. The fret ends are finished very well. It seems to enable me to play with more precision easier. Notes coming from the guitar have a lasting sustain.
