## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does acoustic electric differ from just acoustic? Is the sound equally good for both acoustic and electric functions?**
A: The acoustic/electric has the cutaway (easier access to upper frets).  There is no structural difference other than that and the tone will be really similar to the acoustic-only FG800.  (Changing picks would make a bigger difference!)

**Q: What's a good capo for this guitar?**
A: Greg Bennett's Glider Capo

**Q: Has anyone ever considered changing out the electronics with Fishman? I cannot get this guitar loud enough through amp. Have to run amp full....**
A: I haven't. I get enough volume for my taste with a 20W Fender amp, or even a 5W Spark Go.

**Q: includes the hard case of the image for the purchase of the guitar?**
A: doesn't come with case..  don't know why amazon shows it
