Gretsch Jim Dandy vs Yamaha FG800

Dustin Rhodes com I Appreciate you coming here and watching these videos and let's have a musical conversation. If you have an opinion about this guit...

So full-size guitar body, but it doesn't feel overly big or anything. If you're concerned about the size of your guitar, I'd say this is a comfortable...

Here we go:. Small warm blues tone acoustic- Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top £200 max.

This thing will probably improve, the tone will improve with time, and it's got the solid Sitka spruce top. and uh, it actually looks like a fairly th...

This has got an Agatha's body, it's got a NATO neck, check that nice matte finish on the body there, a nice sunburst finish on the top. It's got a Ros...

Action was so high it was unplayable for me, especially on the upper frets. cost $80 to lower the action/shave the saddle. There's a few sloppy finish areas on the fretboard and where the neck meets the body. The dot markers on top the fretboard are barely visible but the side markers are good and visible

Number three action on this was great. It's very easy to play, very comfortable and you know I I'm just in an apartment here. it doesn't take up a ton...

It's a satin back neck which I like you don't have that finish there that your hand seems to get caught on and just really at this price point, probab...

It is totally embracing the fact that it's supposed to be like an older, inexpensive guitar that for the most part beginners would have played on. It ...

See if you can get it set up as well so that it’s comfortable to play. They are truly lovely guitars regardless of price and have a build quality much higher than others at that price.

This is a pretty nice little guitar for the money. I was looking for a new parlor to have around the house, take outside, toss into the car for trips--and that's exactly what the Jim Dandy is perfect for. If you're looking for a mind-blower, this probably won't do it. However, it plays good right out of the box, feels solid, and sounds like a good little parlor

So here we have the incredible value: Yamaha FG 808 boosted guitar. It got a traditional shape here with a solid spruce top, lightweight Nato in a Kum...

All the interior bracing seems solid, well placed and firmly glued with no gaps or spaces, drips etc. showing. Likewise the neck joint seems equally well made. There is a strap button on the bottom of the body, the other end must be tied under the strings on the headstock, or another strap button must be added

Bought this guitar to keep at a second property, so didn't want to spend a lot of money. You can see where the money was saved in construction and components. The neck isn't a scarf joint, but a straight joint and the tuners are cheap and inconsistent with how they turn, lots of rough spots. That all said, for just a little over $200 you have to expect costs to be saved in these places
