The handle is extremely pleasant and very comfortable instrument to play. The instrument is well balanced by weight and the body lightly.
You can not get a bad sound!
The bridge is adjustable and a specialist easily optimize the harmonic richness.

SOUNDS

One can easily get her very hot even in the acute, depending on the attack. Perfect for picking folk.
The instrument is very high sound quality. I have personally never been a better hands, including top brands American folk guitars.
It is powerful. His grave is very clear and not oily at all.
General impression of softness and strength.

OVERALL OPINION

I use my 300 FG for 40 years! Always with the same pleasure and even wonderment, especially with new ropes and shallow draft that make her the hottest.
I have in the hands of many very good guitars (1500 to 2000 €): I would not trade my 300 FG against any: I love the richness and warmth of its sound.
I also love his balance and comfort of the handle: bass strings that do not curl. In 40 years, the handle did not move! In fact, nothing has moved a slight separation of the local protection fund.
I only play the picking and do not know if the game is enjoyable mediator.
Watson fans and other masters, treat you with the FG 300.
The value for money, then and now even more (if you find one) is excellent for less than € 1,000 you can own an instrument that you no longer separate.
