Wonder what's the deal with FG V's and Japan?

In Japan FG = Fire-breathing Godzilla

Any particular reason? Probably, the financier's decision. :wink: :mrgreen: I originally ordered MG, then JG and finally settled on FG. I asked my better half which one she liked best…FG I’ve always like FG but in the recent past the color hadn’t impressed me. We are a team. But I was on the fence ...

Just thoght of a new item.

It never was very active, so no surprises there.

Sam Ash is still a dealer - they just don’t have the individual stores listed at this time. Same for Guitar Center.

Thanks for clarifying that, Kenny.
