It routes better than wood and sands well too. The downside from a builders perspective is cutting fret slots. If your using a fretsaw, it's really hard work compared to wood

Musicians Friend tells everybody they can't give out information about a scratch and dent guitar. This is a flat out lie. They have the guitars in their possession or else how would they put a price on the item. They know where the guitars are and can evaluate them, so why can't they take pictures of the damage and answer a prospective buyers' questions?? Instead, they just lie.

Thanks for your review, stopped me from buying one.

I spent as much on the Hoffner hard case as did the Bass.

I have a 1934 model. Paid £15.00 for it earlier this year. It’s an excellent guitar.

I have a lot of guitars. Someone gave me this guitar and it was like new. I thought I would donate it to a charity store in my town. A few days ago I started to play it and it really is a pretty good guitar. I decided to keep it for back porch playing and practicing because my other acoustics are extremely expensive instruments. This one I would not be afraid to lug it around and do stuff like playing out in the woods and such. Very surprising and very well made.

I the back a solid color or does it show the wood grain glossy.

Copy rights. Infringe. ..go sell and that a crime. D u d e. Make u s a great. T r u m p

Your a c c p lover. They love creaps like u.

Aren't the flame sides and back a veneer?

I also would never buy again from musiciansfriend. Never again

sides and back are laminated. fingerboard rosewood

The info on Amazon on the East rock says bone nut and saddle, at least on the acoustic/electric tenors.

It happened to me. You start to see the faults. They ain’t no Gibson or Martin, or shecters

Great storytelling, as always 🙂

I had one of these a few years ago. Ich was very excited about it in the beginning. But in the end I found for my taste it lacked character, so I sold it.

Admayrah. xD

Your'e a good story teller 😄 A very unpleasent expierence, but you tell it really well!

brown paper - bad asmr

Sleep lightly always with an eye open, your guitar can change at any time! 😳

I'm glad you like it. I have to correct you... Micarta is a composite (like Richlite), but instead of layers of wood it is composed of layers of cloth - usually linen. It's not as processed as Richlite, and is of slightly lower quality as a material. Ebonol is a different brand of composite made with a slightly different process. All 3 composites are about 65% solid materials, and 35% resin. There is also Rocklite, which layers wood and resin to make a high quality composite. All 4 make an excellent material for musical instruments of all kinds. Ebonol is popular for clarinets, for instance. All are machinable, and are impervious to most liquids. Most resist heat and cold extremes very well. They are usually heavier than the material they are replacing.

tuners on my like quite art deco

The famous Torres made a guitar with a spruce top but back and sides were of paper mache 😄 I bet it sounded great.

I got the natural wood finish one and, like you, I had very little to do to get it playable. I guess I got lucky with the bridge pick up, because the one on mine has all vintage tele twang you'd ever need. (SINGS: "Sometimes I'm a country boy" 😉 I have two other Teles whose pick ups sound more modern, perhaps, (A Gear4Music Semi-Hollow and a Sire - the latter plays beautifully) but for €89 I got the sound that was lacking on those more expensive guitars. I only hope the cheap price reflects them being made by computer directed robots, rather than sweat shop carpenters. 🙄

What you are describing about Craig's list seems to be the same universally. We have a similar site here in Austria and isn't different at all 😅

I want one if your selling one please?

A true wood / paper/ phenolic resin composite, also has excellent heat dissipation qualities. You can basically build a performance carburetor spacer out of it and outperform aluminum at least 2%.on temperatures. Some phenolic spacers have outperformed aluminum spacers to the tune of +5hp. This obviously has it's benefits on guitar, as the material is not as prone to weather as ebony or other wood fretboards. When Ebony is like a fat bursting acidic jalapeno pepper, that increases in value into spice rack and sauce, RICHLITE is like money glued together and stays money yet decreases in resale value. The thing is this, when it comes to sound, the Richlite outperformed the ebony all over the frequency spectrum, however it is sometimes percieved with less bright attack because of more filled out, however it is all still in there with the bright attack, with slightly more potent energy. Martin guitars knows. Couple a richlite fretboard with stainless steel frets hard diamond coated with my stainless locking nut. Oh yeah. It is going to sound great, you can bet your solo tracks. Thought of creating an impossible tone machine, like say an entire guitar out of solid ebony? Use richlite man, the thing shall be awe inspiring and tone unstoppable.

Good talking points. However we want to HEAR the guitar being played

Gee. Are you ever going to play it so we can hear what the guitar says and not you?

I bought one of these and like Julian Rey mentions mine came straight out of the box fantastic setup smooth fret ends etc. I am totally happy with mine, but I valued your opinion thanks.

I have this very guitar and want to know what the silver toggle switch is for.

Just hit the buy now button on a 1970 Fujigen Greco F250...£180...

Nice video! I own of their base model D1 which is based on the D16 Martin, which I bought as a beater guitar. I was actually impressed that for the price the guitar was constructed from wood and no laminate. I spoke with Joe at GAEA, the factory where these are made and I was equally impressed by his professionalism. He offered to replace my guitar or send me the parts I needed to fix my issue even though I was outside of the warranty period.

What do you like between this and the Alverez ap66 parlor?

The last three items I bought from Musicians Friend was damaged or didn't work. I will go elsewhere

For national security America will not buy Chinese instruments. I wait for Apple. Maybe a lot more expensive. But it is OK

What is the actual price of this brand starts at?

I've had one for awhile, finally I measured and filed the frets and put some fancy strings on it. A ressurection. Wonderful short scale. It's actually slightly larger than the Oliver Jr, according to the website. Great on the couch, in bed or to throw in the car. Thanks for another good video :)

Just bought one yesterday in natural. I cant put it down. Such a nice sounding instrument. I have four Yamaha guitars at the moment. LL16D, LL16/12, FG820 and now the CSF3M. I love them all and this little thing is so surprisingly punchy and sweet sounding and a joy to play. Love your review, cheers.

Nut width and scale length importance are what a bunch of affordable guitars have taught me. 24" scale like Jaguar or Mustang electrics are a wet dream to play. When you get older it's even more of a big deal. I just ordered a Cordoba Cadete because of it's 615mm scale and 48mm nut width, because my hands love the shortscale. I'm 6'1" age 66. I hope to play for many years. The CV Squire Jag was my first with 24" scale....I have flatwounds on it. So good I found a IYV Mustang copy people like, it's coming too, and a Gretch "Jim Dandy", acoustic steel..24" scale...and now the Cadete (24.2"), because I do like the nylon Guitars. There is also the Fender CN-60S, but that nut is 42mm, which, for nylon I think is over the top., and the scale is 25.5. I'll play other guitars but....if this quiver sounds good...I might do some selling LOL TLDR: Nuts matter....Scale length even more.

Can you measure the radius I changed mine and don’t know the original radius

Looks like a cool guitar

Worry about the brand name, when the body looks like a cutting board in a Mexican restaurant.

I was looking at one of these earlier & came here for a review, really useful info thanks. What I know about guitars you could write on a spiders knee cap! Hoping to learn a bit...

I was looking for a 24 inch scale acoustic.....after "discovering" how much easier they are to play (Classic Vibe Jag)...and just stumbled on the Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy 24-Inch Scale Flat Top...$180 on Amazon, with stellar reviews. Pulled Trig. Could this be the first time I "found" a cool affrodable guitar you had not reviewed?
