Kraft Music - Yamaha FG700S Demo

[kidboy828]

can you buy a gig bag off the website for this guitar

[One1Shinobi]

Is the fretboard width the same as the f310?

[NextGenRev]

i got my yamaha FG700 today as a christmas present and i can tell you that its an amazing guitar, even for its relatively cheap price! i had time to compare it with other steel strings at the shop and it felt the most comfortable in terms of sound resonance, brightness of the tone, the action, and looks, within the under 1000$ range. if you are getting this as your very first guitar you are super lucky!!

[mohitpandey55]

is it neccessary to learn acoustic before electric

[kraftmusic]

@mohitpandey55

It's not necessary, but I think it's helpful to learn in that order. Acoustic guitar will help you to strengthen your fingers and build technique. Then, switching to electric (should you choose to do so) will be a breeze. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

when he started out playing

, it sounded like rock lobster.

[truesteban090]

I have that squier strat affinity series in the background and its a decent guitar except for metal, it can get by but not that well with metal...

[SeanDR93]

Im a beginner..what would you recommend for my first guitar - the f310 or fg700s

I cant decide. thanks

[kraftmusic]

@SeanDR93

Hi,

I would definitely recommend the FG700S over the F310. The main reason is the solid spruce wood used in the FG700S top. The solid-top FG700S features a richer, fuller sound than the laminate-top F310. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

@SeanDR93

you can get an epiphone aj220 it has a solid spruce top and a dove-tail neck joint,slimtaper neck for easy playing and its only $190.00 at long/mcquade best guitar under $500.00

[anastasiachloee]

Is this generally a folk guitar?

[rastablues1]

I have a 700s (Sandburst, which looks AWESOME!!) and a black 720s with cream binding......Both of 'em are really good sounding...the older the 700 gets, the better it sounds.... no buzz at all. Went to Elixir strings, and they're both sounding primo. Buy one.



[Huda2012]

i liked the sound of this guitar,the fg700s but i still think the sound for the ls16 is way cooler than this one.

[slutbucket90]

I really like this guitar, but how's the action on the FG700s?

[cakstones]

Yes, i like the FG700s more, but what if i live in hot weather? will it damage the solid body or change anything? in this case would you recommend a solid top or laminated top ? Thanks.

[kraftmusic]

I'd still recommend a solid top instrument but you'd want to make sure the instrument stays out of direct sunlight, and doesn't stay in a hot car for extended periods of time. You'll also want to make sure the humidity level stays consistent...you can use a humidifier and temp/humidity sensor to maintain this level. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Are there any similiar guitars to this one ??

[cakstones]

Thanks.

What's the difference between this guitar and the yamaha FG700S MS ?? is it only the finish?

And is there any alters to this guitar? that have the same quality and sound but low in price ?

Thank you sir :)

[kraftmusic]

Yes, the only difference between these two instruments is the finish. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

hey do you know what kind of strings are best for delta blues music?

[JMLizardKing1971]

i have this guitar and restrung it with martin strings and now it sounds like a 500+ guitar.

[harr1s0n2]

what kind of strings do yall think sound best on this guitar?

[captainniki]

What brand and gauge of strings did you use when you demoed it? ;p

Nick

[kraftmusic]

Hi Nick,

The FG700S comes pre-strung with a set of Yamaha light-gauge coated strings. That's what you're hearing in the video. Thanks for watching!

[Tizzacious]

Hey awesome guitar review I own one of these myself. Would you mind telling me what you played at the end there? The one mostly consisting of c and d? That really sounded cool. Keep up the good work!

[Jcruzman]

Which do you think would be best, F325 or the FG700S?

[kraftmusic]

I would definitely go with the Yamaha FG700S. The F325 features a laminated top which results in a thinner, boxier tone. The FG700S features a solid sitka spruce top, which provides a fuller, richer sound. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[missbojan]

Hi is there a differnce between Yamaha FG700s and FG700 ?

[kraftmusic]

Hi,

The official model number from Yamaha is FG700S. The "S" stands for solid spruce top. Sometimes people will refer to it as simply an "FG700" but it's the same guitar. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

is there any difference between FG700S and FG700MS?? or is it just matte color?

Hi,

I'm not familiar with that model, but it must be a finish difference. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[heelr]

Hello,

great video, I'm really thinking of buying this guitar. I read many reviews and none of them says about cons of this guitar - do you think it has some, or is it flawless?

What are the differences between FG700S and FG700MS, does it sound differently?

And last question - what other quitars do you recommend with comparable price and quality?

thank you

[kraftmusic]

Thanks for your interest. I personally own an FG700S and I think it's an excellent solid-top acoustic. I have no other recommendations at this price range that sound and play as good. I'm not aware of any disadvantages to this guitar...It's easy to play, sounds great, and sells for $199. SOLD! Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Nice video. Just purchased the FG700S for my first guitar from your site. Great guitar right out of the box. Excellent packing and shipping. Thanks.

[flatpikinguitar]

Im pretty sure thats a peluso mic there, if it is, thats the main reason the guitar sounds as good as it does

[kraftmusic]

Thanks for your interest in Kraft Music and the Yamaha FG700S. Actually the mic I used for this session was an AKG Perception 400. This is a decent entry-level condenser mic that sold for around $300 (when it was a current model). Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Is there any difference between the FG700S and the FG720S ?

Thanks for your interest. Just a few cosmetic differences, and the FG720S is available in a few different colors. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

[Catwomanx1]

Is there a big difference between the F310, F370 and the FG700?

[kraftmusic]

The main difference would be the solid sitka spruce top found on the FG700S. The F310 and F370 use a laminated top, which results in a thinner, boxier tone. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

what about fg700s and cd-140s? which one should i get?

I'd personally recommend the FG700s. Better construction and overall tone. I'm pretty partial to Yamaha acoustics, and I own an FG700S. Thanks for watching!

Hey I bought one of your guitar essential bundles off e-bay on friday. It shipped out the same day! Very happy with Kraft so far. Hopefully I learn how to play in a few months. I love guitars so I should be able to keep at it through the winter.

[CountryBoy720]

Is that a FG700S in sandburst in the background? I'm considering either it or a fender CD-60 for my first guitar. I would appreciate any advice you could offer me. Thanks!

[kraftmusic]

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in the Yamaha FG700S. The sandburst guitar in the background is the CPX700. I would definitely recommend the FG700S over the CD60. The FG700S features a solid sitka spruce top, compared to the laminate top of the CD60. The solid top of the FG700 gives a more full and pleasing tone to the guitar. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

[budgood099]

Good sounding guitar with anti-corrosion strings from the factory. ( I see the tag on the one behind you ) My strings lasted 7 months before the 1st change.

[machinsky108]

nice video!

[stbaby57]

So is the best guitar recommended for beginners?

[kraftmusic]

This is my favorite acoustic guitar for beginners. It features a solid top, and sounds great. I own one of these instruments and used it to play a duet with my wife at a wedding last weekend. Great full sound, and easy to play.

I saw a guitar in a music shop named Yamaha ms700s. I can't find any information about the guitar on the internet. Maybe i read the name wrong...

Does Yamaha ms700s exist? It sounded vvery good :)

[kraftmusic]

I'm not familiar with any model number MS700S. You're sure it wasn't an FG? Was it some kind of used or vintage peice? Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

@harry80years i think u meant fg700ms

[Timmymaka]

What finish is that?

[kraftmusic]

It's a high-gloss natural finish. It's natural wood, so every FG700S is going to have a slightly different wood grain pattern. Feel free to contact me with any other questions.

Should i get this Yamaha fg700s or the fender cd-60?? i sort of going towards the yamaha because of the tone and action!! ANy suggestions?

[kraftmusic]

Hi,

I can tell you that the FG700S is one of our most popular acoustic guitars. It's very affordable and has a solid spruce top (almost unheard of at $200). I own one of these guitars and use it at my recording studio. I think it plays well and sounds fantastic. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

awesome guitar, i'm saving up this summer for an acoustic and (hopefull) gibson les paul. Although I was wondering what the songs were that you played.

[kraftmusic]

Thanks for watching. The tunes you heard in this video demo are original pieces by Max Misko. He usually comes up with these songs on the fly as we are getting ready to film the videos. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

@kraftmusic ok thanks

[alexwhyte]

Hello, I'm debating between the Fender cd-60 ce (which you have a video for) and this 700S. I really like how the fender has the pick up and it comes with a case, where the 700 doesn't. Which would you recommend? (with consider to sound, etc..) It's tough to pick because they are both good deals for me

Thank you in advance.

[kraftmusic]

Hi,

I guess it depends on what you want. For a nice acoustic sound, I would definitely go with the solid-top Yamaha FG700S. If you need an acoustic-electric instrument, then the CD60CE might be the way to go. You'll just have to decide if you need the pickups or not. You may want to check out Yamaha FGX-series as well. Thanks for watching.

Can you tell me what is the differences between Yamaha FG700S and Yamaha FG730S? Yamaha FG730S cost about $100 more than FG700S

[kraftmusic]

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in Kraft Music and the Yamaha FG700S/FG730S. The main difference between these two instruments is the wood used in the back and side construction. The FG700S uses a Nato (aka Eastern Mahogany) wood for the back and sides, while the FG730S uses a Rosewood for the back and sides. The FG730 also has some nicer cosmetic features and is available in a variety of colors. Thanks for watching!

[iTak013]

Just one last question:

So both guitars produce great sound right? I looking for guitars that are under $200 but if it costs $100 more to get better sound, and Yamaha is a great brand too so yeah.

Thanks for quick reply! It good to have review videos like this since people nowadays buy instruments online without knowing its performance.

[kraftmusic]

I would say that both the FG700S and the FG730S are excellent instruments. However, the FG730 has slightly improved sound quality because of the back and side wood. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

I'd like to know the differences between the FG700S and the FG720S. I know that the 700 has eastern mahogany back and sides while the 720 does not. But other than that, the both of them have very similar features.. so it's hard to make a decision. And there's no demo video of the FG720S to compare with. Is there a big difference between the both of them? Thanks.

[kraftmusic]

Thanks for your question. There is not a huge sound difference between the FG720S and FG700S. The FG720S features some cosmetic upgrades and is available in a variety of colors. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns.

Its amazing how good the quality of inexpensive guitars has gotten today. Years ago cheap meant junk. The FG700S is a quality guitar despite it being a budget model. Can't wait to hear how it sounds in 20 years.

[212demon]

good guitar
