Yamaha FG9 RX

After looking at various reviews on the internet, I decided on this Yamaha model.
First, I have several Yamaha acoustic guitars, two are also Made in Japan, and I really like them all.
Second, Yamaha is widely regarded as a very reliable manufacturer with excellent quality control.
Third, I liked the sound on the recordings I listened to, and I liked the rosewood sound better on all of them. Only on one recording, the sound of the mahogany model was significantly better than the rosewood model.

And then the order came and with it great disappointment.
When I saw the case, I first thought that they had sent me the wrong guitar. I did not expect the case to be different from the one in the pictures of the FG9R and FG9M models, but it is. This one is lined with some fabric (tweed?), and it's really hard to maintain. Whatever the reason for packing a top quality guitar in this case is completely unacceptable to me.
Furthermore, the connection between the neck and the body is visibly imperfect, so that dirt easily falls into those gaps and is difficult to clean. This is not the quality of "master luthiers" who, as stated in the Yamaha certificate, made this guitar.
Also, I am sure that "master luthier" would not allow a large drop of lacquer to remain on the underside of the soundhole.
And let me also say that the edges of the frets are extremely sharp, so much so that they can cut the skin of the fingers.

Clearly, this is the last Yamaha product I bought. Unfortunately, I am not able to return it. A very expensive guitar and worth very little, almost nothing.

Je possède une Martin 000-28, une Gibson SJ200; j'ai essayé de nombreuses dreadnought Martin (D28, D35, D42...), aucune ne lui arrive à la cheville. En terme de lutherie, c'est exceptionnel, et les Martin font pâle figure à côté. C'est super sobre, mais c'est ultra classe, et d'une finition impressionnante. Le manche satinée est ultra confortable, les mécaniques d'une précision redoutable. Côté son, un volume, une netteté... ça fait wahou au premier accord bref, je suis amoureux :) ça va être difficile de trouver mieux sans mettre 3 fois plus dedans....
