Which one should I get?

Yamaha DW7
- Solid Engelmann Spruce top

Yamaha FG 730S
-Solid Sitka spruce top

Both back and sides of the two guitars are same, which is laminated rosewood. Both are also same priced (RM1390).
Anyone who owns or tried any of the two models before are welcomed to give comments.

I think a big baby is a bad choice. It is fully made of ply wood.
ALso, I tested it before at Mahogany. The sound is so so only but considering it as a ply wood guitar, it's one of the best ply wood guitars I have ever played.

I'm looking forward to a solid top. Anyone here can help?

I know it's a good deal but I want to buy a brand new one. Can't afford a Taylor man.

Anyone tried the Yamaha DW7 before?

if sinamex list price is RM1630, then i can definitely get it for cheaper than whatever those yamaha's are selling for.
