NAD. Cheap Yamaha acoustic and stuff.

I got a Yamaha FG700S, nice case, Chord Buddy™, capo, humidifier and strap for $75.00 yesterday.
It is a lower end Yamaha but it plays easily and sounds like an acoustic guitar, which I did not have.
I'm sure the case was worth $75.00 so I got a deal and now I have a beach/yard party guitar to play without worrying about damaging a work of art.

Killer Deal!!
Congrats!
I have the FG700S as well bought used for around $125. maybe $140 with shipping.

"The Internet" says that is one of the best beginner / budget acoustic choices out there 5 or so years ago.
Mine played fine once I adjusted the truss rod back then.
Once I became more proficient working on guitars I dialed the nut slots in and sanded the saddle to bring the action a little lower.
Still high compared to electric - but where it is "supposed" to be from what I read.

Really easy playing, good sounding acoustic for short dough.
