2015$135wornCheezyfryeHad been looking for a 12 string for years, with my eye on the Seagull s12 or a Breedlove, both retailing for over $500. Walked into the acoustic room at my local Music-Go-Round last year and say this sitting there. Dismissed it initially because I didn't like the look of the headstock. Played a couple other cheap 12's which were garbage. Picked up the fg260 right before I walked out the door and just strummed it. Blown away by the sound/tone and the action was pretty fair. Looked inside the sound hole at the label (tan) and saw it was a Nippon Gakki. Even with the finish being somewhat beat up, I couldn't imagine finding a better sounding guitar for twice the $135 price and have loved playing it since.
2015$160.00goodSteve DigbyGuitar has slight Yamaha tummy, where the bridge is tilting forward. I understand this is common on may 12 string guitars. Action is a little high but very playable. I really like the tone.
