Zzounds delivers! On quality, shipping, customer support and finance! The Yamaha FG5 is beautiful! You open the case and you see, feel, smell and hear the awesome craftsmanship! Nothing against Gibson but my J-45 was a grand more and not as grand IMO. The case! Now that’s a case! Sturdy, large beefy latches and plush interior with solid protection all around! Solid mahogany neck sides and back. The seamless black binding blends handsomely with the mahogany, Sitka, the ebony fingerboard and bridge are all beautiful! I could still smell the fresh wood and factory as I checked under the hood. No extra glue and spills etc. Solid all around and the fretwork and tuners (open) were flawless. No rough fret ends smooth as a peach! The resonance and sustain are still echoing in my mind! Might change strings but that’s not an issue! The zzounds family came through once again helping musicians and the Yamaha FG5 is stunning! In craftsmanship, value, looks, playability, resonance, sustain and sound! No I’m not a paid endorsement! I’ve been with Martin, Gibson, Takamine and Hofner acoustics, love them all but like our children they all have their personalities.
