I finished a neck reset on this guitar a couple of weeks ago, the initial setup with old strings, and hung it up to settle in.

Yesterday I made the final adjustments and put the final strings on. WOW!! Amazing depth and clarity without the usual dread "boom". This has taken over as my favorite guitar!

It may not be pretty, but it sure sounds great!! Best $20 I've ever spent!!!

Thanks! I'm still working on guitars. Too many left to do! I started a neck reset on the first FG-110E 6 months ago. It would be good to finish that before starting anything new.

I think I'm afraid to learn to play something new. That's harder than neck resets!!

It makes me want to pick it up and play it.
