Default NOGD- Yamaha

I just purchased this slightly used Yamaha FSX730SC for $200 plus shipping. It has a solid top, beautiful appointments, and sounds great plugged in. Really happy with this purchase, it sounds fantastic, even against it's much more expensive brethren. Was looking for the 8 series models with the new bracing, but found this on reverb and took the chance. Really happy I did, great quality and really fun to play.

I'd love to get a FSX730SC.
Never seen one yet.
I had FGX730 but smaller would be nicer.

$500 guitar with one of the most natural sounding pickups. A.R.T. in that thing sounds incredible. Congrats! I'll never sell my FGX730SC.

Does it say on the red tag where it was made or who the luthier was? Are the red tag ones considered collectible?

This is a strong testimony for Yamaha since it holds it own against your stable of nice guitars.

Congrats

Thanks all. We regards to the label, it is (was) there standard label for this series. Guitar is made in China. The new 800 series, which are direct replacements but with scalloped bracing, have light green labels.
