Is the fsx800c a god beginner guitar

[idle trench]

I found one on fb marketplace for 150$ with light damage to one string

[proper wharf]

strings are replaceable, it wouldn't affect the price really

but $150 is a good deal

[idle trench]

Its in good condition from the photos and its barely used, now i just gotta convince parents yk, my money but still an issue

[proper wharf]

tough luck

[idle trench]

Yeah lol

Thats why im shopping used cuz its cheaper

[proper wharf]

I'd prob ask why they're selling it though, good deal but also selling at 50% ish of its msrp is a little sus for me at least

[idle trench]

Yeah, gonna ask

[proper wharf]

nice well good luck with that 👍

[idle trench]

Aren’t these like overly thin for an acoustic

[proper wharf]

na. It's what i use on mine and if OP is starting out he's not gonna have a good time on thicker strings

[devout jackal]

Yeah they're just extra light strings.

@idle trench keep in mind you'll want to run similar gauge strings to what you've got already on the guitar. Otherwise you will most likely need a setup on the truss rod.

Really up to you at the end of the day. Choose what feels best.

But lighter strings on a guitar set up for bigger strings will most likely buzz somewhere on the frets.

Super Slinky By Ernie Ball

[proper wharf]

those are strings for electric...

[lusty cairn]

That’s usually what you do with a used instrument no

Like 50-60 percent

[proper wharf]

wth no brother
unless it's in terrible condition

if it's in excellent/mint you're going as low as 20%

[lusty cairn]

What 20 percent of market wait what 🤣

Haha ok whatever

You think 50 is and 20 isn’t 🤔

[proper wharf]

yup why would you want to lose more money than you have to

lol think i misread
what i meant was if its excellent/mint condition then for example:
$400-20%= $320

I'd prob just do 10-15% though if excellent condition

[kindred zealot]

my b on the phone the link cuts off that they're for acoustic. You only see the "ddario"
