On 2002-11-02, Ron Smith: Trippin on Dolls gave this Yamaha Acoustic Guitar a 5...(2969)
Purchase: I purchased my fg460 for under $400 at a local music store about 10 years ago. It was my first and is still my only acoustic guitar. At the time of purchase, I played $1000+ guitars and I played $100 guitars. None sounded or played better than the fg460.
Pros: Sound, sound, sound. Maybe I just lucked out, but in 10 years, the only other acoustic I've tried that compares is a Martin. I had a Fishman active pickup installed and have used this guitar for 95% of my band's recordings and 100% of my gigs. The guitar is a workhorse. The tuners are great quality, very tight. Also, the finish has been quite durable.
Cons: The only small complaint I have about this guitar is size of the sound hole. It's slightly bigger than every brand of soundhole cover available, so they float a bit. I know, I'm knit-picking.
Quality: Extremely well made and durable. Mine has been through the mill and back, and still looks, plays, and sounds great!!!
Summary: It's not very often that you can find an instrument for under $400 that sounds and plays better than ones costing upwards of $1000. It has been worth every penny!
