I bought a left handed FG100N acoustic guitar about 5 years ago as complete beginner, I still have it and use it regularly. To date nothing has broken other than an occasional string.
It stays in tune well and only needs checking occasionally. The only sign of wear is on the top three frets due to my fingers wearing away the paint, which, after constant use, is not surprising.
As a guitar to learn on without spending too much money, I would highly recommend it. (Posted on 7/13/11)
