Misha,

Welcome to the Forum! You can't go wrong with either of those guitars. Do send us photos when you make your purchase!

Yesterday I pulled the trigger on a used FG 370/12, which should arrive next week. I am deliriously happy and am sure I will pester you all with questions and solicitations for advice on mods etc.

I wound up with a fantastically sweet deal on on a stock 2003 Fireglo 370/12 from Willie's American Guitars in St Paul, MN...and I have absolutely no complaints! I have been watching the McGuinn DVD obsessively and trying to get my sea legs. I've almost worked up the gumption to change the strings... :mrgreen:

I was looking for some other pictures in a folder and found a picture of this one from the eBay auction:

Binding makes a guitar sound better, so the more binding a guitar has, the better it sounds. . . . ;)
