I was prepared to spend up to £2,000 for a fingerstyle steel strung guitar, tried everything, including Martins, Taylors, Collings, Gibson, old, new etc. Finally selected the 400 based on tone, balance, overall sound, playability. Watch out Martin and Taylor (especially Taylor!) Bill Dale

This was by far the nicest sounding guitar in the price range. I have a Gibson J50 and I found the tone similiar. Very nice.

I have recently bought a Freshman Parlour guitar and am loving it. Very impressed so well done there. I am so happy with it I am considering another purchase.

It's been a few weeks since I got my new Freshman FA400FCES and now that the novelty of a new guitar has worn off and I can evaluate it more objectively I thought I'd let you know just how pleased I am to own such a wonderful instrument.

Aside from the quality of the build and beautiful minimal design this guitar has such an
expressive range of sound it's a real pleasure to play. It really sings when strummed but has a beautiful tenderness when fingerpicked.

I spent several months trying all kinds of guitars and was torn between a Martin and a Taylor (twice the price of the FA400) before I stumbled across a review in Acoustic Magazine of the FA400. So I decided to chance it and ordered one.

I'm so glad I did. I couldn't be more delighted with it. Every time I play it I rejoice at the fact that I never spent twice as much money on a Taylor or Martin as in my opinion this is a superior guitar in every department.

Thanks again for a wonderful instrument, I couldn't be more proud to own a Freshman.
