MGR/Derek Mok « Yamaha FG413S-12 12-String Acoustic »
Published on 11/11/03 at 15:00Bought at Manny's Music in New York City for $220. My first foray into 12-string territory.
Sounded good, played well. Became my main guitar for nearly two years.
I know it's a cheap guitar and I played it almost every day, but the frets wore down just under the two-year mark and the repair job would have cost more than the guitar itself! A $220 investment should last longer than that. Also, no built-in pickup or tuner.
Okay, but not great. The finish was pretty inconspicuous.
I do not recommend this guitar because of the fret issue. Better to spend some more money and get a guitar that lasts.
