Believe it or not I just bought this guitar the Yamaha FG 720 S Sunburst With a case plus all her books which I gave to the lending library. There was even a set of strings guitar strap and cleaning material all for $100. I have never had such a great deal in my life this guitarist fabulous. It is even made me put away my Takamiine As my number one go to For the price of a new one there’s no way you could go wrong and save yourself the extra money of going to a more expensive guitar.

I bought this guitar second hand from a friend about four years ago. I didn't even play guitar at the time but had decided to learn. He originally sold it to me to buy a Seagull S6 which I've gotten to play and although it is a nice guitar, I prefer my Yamaha to it. It stays in tune incredibly well and has a beautiful bright tone. If it were ever to go missing for any reason I would certainly replace it with the same model as I love it. The action out of the box is pretty good too. I've never changed it and I know my friend had to have his S6 adjusted to be more like mine. At the price point this guitar comes in at, I don't think you can find better value.

These FG700s-FG730s Yamahas are probably the best reviewed acoustic guitars on the internet. I have the FG720S-Black & it is a great sounding guitar for the $300.00 price. Seriously, this guitar sounds as good as many $1000.00 because it has a solid top that vibrates much better than a top in two pieces which MOST $300.00 priced acoustics are made with. The tuners are fine with a bit of slippage, the headstock with mother-of-pearl is simple & classic, the tortoise-shell pickguard is attractive although white at the edges so a little cheap looking. The white/cream binding looks cool against the black. Think of this/these guitar(s) as just great cheap guitars. Accomplished musicians will love them for their liveliness & that's what's special about them: these guitars are loud & vibrate & have a lot of life in them. They are not over-made, meaning there's not too much wood in the construction. The FG720 (& maybe all of them) is a slightly smaller dreadnought & is a wonderful flat-picked instrument with big notes & volume & nice for fingerpicking too. If you've got guitars but just want a cheapie for fun, THIS IS IT. I'm considering buying a FG730 because that is the best reviewed guitar on the internet, easily.

I bought this guitar four years ago and I love it. I am completely amazed at how well it stays in tune. When I pick up a Taylor or a Martin, they admittedly sound and play better but they cost 4x more. This is a great guitar for an intermediate player or a beginner who is willing to spend a little extra.

I love this guitar. It feels amazing and sounds great. I gave it a 1 for features because it's an acoustic. Not really any features to rate.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
