I have been trying to sell my 317e and am very interested in the FGX5 so this thread is right up my ally. So I already know what a 317, 517 and 717 sound and feel like. Can you explain the difference between them and the Yamaha as far as sound a feel? What makes you like the FGX5 so much? Is the sound on the FGX5 boomier than the Taylors? Is is comparable in how it plays or is it easier to play than the Taylors? I can picture the Yamaha as having a nice rich tone with deeper basses and beautiful chords. I want a strummer. I am seriously considering the FGX5 without even playing one which is scary to me since I bought my last two Taylors after playing them and then later decided I wasn't crazy about them.
