Quality:
Everything is looks neat, inside and out, solid in everyway.

Value:
I tried a lot of much more expensive guitars than this one, and few came even close to the sweet sound of this one, the Guild being the only one I liked as much, and it was over 1800 dollars more. The used Guild I looked at was around $750.00 which I know is a bargain, but if I didn't know what the price of the Yamaha was, I would have been willing to pay hundreds more for it after I tried it.

Desirability:
It wasn't as flashy as some of the guitars I tried (abalone, mother of pearl inlays everywhere), but the redish tint with gold sunburst, is very attractive.

Sound:
I happened to drop in a store that is part of a local chain, and tried out most of the guitars there, and found a used Guild d55 for a great price I couldn't believe the sound and playability. I didn't have the cash to get it at this point, and I was going away to Vegas for a week, so I didn't get it then. I went down there today but to my disapointment, it was gone. I tried all their other guitars except the Yamahas, thinking that how could anything at the price sound good. Nothing appealed to me, so I decided to try their other store. I looked for a Guild there but 2100.00 for a new d55 was way out of my price range. None of the other guitars I tried had the sound I was looking for, til I finally picked up the fg720s. Well I tell you I could not believe my ears, it was so sweet, the sound just jumped out of it, plenty of clean bass, and crystal highs. It sounded just like the Guild to me, and the action was perfect, low and easy to play.

Support:
Have not had it long enough to comment.

Overall:
I would definately get another if anything happened to this one, you can't buy a better guitar for the price!
