I REALLY like the look of this guitar in the vintage tint. I'm all caught up on my work paperwork and don't feel like working on my website so I'm gonna go check it out. My local GC has four in stock. I'm taking my Seagull Maritime folk for comparison purposes. Will report back!
Well the FS800 was on sale for $169, fresh out of the box so I got it. Wowie. It sounds great, very much like my old red label FG-150 but without the neck issues. Very resonant tone for a small body, no doubt the revoicing and scalloped bracing improved that, as this one doesn't sound a thing like the FS models I've tried in stores in the past.
I couldn't find a case locally so I bought a Yamaha case that fits this model from eBay. The case looks very much like the one for an old LS model I had, with a Yamaha badge on the side. It's an archtop, and they don't make this case like that anymore.
More later.
EDIT: I cannot find a gig bag to fit this. I do not want a dread bag - too loose. Any ideas?
