Yamaha's are fantastic guitars for the money, almost always push them towards beginners for that reason. With hardcase, FGX800 is $400-450 new. Taylors are very nice but generally overpriced IMO (I've owned 3). But we found a really good deal on a Taylor 214ce DLX and went that way.

Get him a McPherson. According to Keith Harkin, one of the McPherson artists and a hardcore fundamentalist Christian, McPherson "just gives them away to everyone" (there's literally a YouTube video of him saying this, in one of the live performance videos with David Bakey). If you wrote out your pastor's entire story, including the whole being a shepherd and what have you, to be consistent and not unfair, they should hook him up.

So I gave it to him couple night ago anonymously through his daughter. She sent me a text the next day:
So I brought it in and I said this is for you! 😂 He was very thankful and said “I am very humbled by this gift.” And “If I wrote a thank you, you can get it to the right people?” He loves the sound, it took him forever to put it down and get back to work last night and he took it to work today so he could play for a bit. So definitely a win! Again thank you so much!!

At this price point, it's all about being better than what you had. If it is, it's a win. Taylor does very well with the going to buy a good first or second guitar crowd. The MIM product from both Taylor and Martin fit that bill nicely. Those of us not of the Taylor ilk have no reason to complain about them.
