Anything's possible, of course, but I think the chances of damage caused by shipping via UPS would be slim to none. UPS damage is usually due to the guitar not being packaged properly to begin with. I don't think you'd have a problem buying though an on line dealer like Kraft.

Hey Daniel,
I've used Kraft twice, and have been happy with them. The guitars are shipped inside the case, and the guitars have been decently setup when I got them. They also ship fast. I've been fairly impressed. I also have a FG700S, although that one was not purchased there. One thing to note about the FG series, Yamaha refers to them as Jumbo bodies. Now, Yamaha has Jumbo's that are bigger, but the FG series has a lower bout that is wider than most dreadnaughts. So Yamaha refers to them as having a Jumbo body shape. It actually allows the FG's to fit nicely in the lap, as there is some waist in them. They also don't fit real well in some generic dreadnaught hard cases. I guess the bundle would work well there. FWIW, I have no ties to Kraft, just have bought from them a couple of times. Good luck in your quest |

Good for you, Daniel. You'll be glad you did it. Biggest bang for the buck I know of.

New or used? The best thing about used is that you have a chance to see what the guitar is going to be, you are going to know what it will sound like. As wood ages things change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. If you can find a 20 year old solid top guitar and it plays and sounds good, chances are it will be that way into the future.

Alright Daniel, that's a nice package and price. I bought that guitar for my son years ago. He doesn't play it much but I do, It can hang with my higher end guitars
