25.5” 7 string. Under $800 and looks solid.

I’ve owned 6 they are Absolutley amazing and worth every penny.

ESP Standard series quality and people seem to sleep on them. The Neo Classical series is hands down the best playing Les Paul I’ve ever touched.

Do it.

I played some on my trip to Japan last year. Pretty good guitars, good quality for the money. Made in Japan. If I recall correctly, at the same factory Fender is made but I might have that mixed up with another.

I’m looking at one of the Mythic series. Not too spendy.

I have one of the baritone dual humbucker telecaster looking models. I think its called something weird like the JIL-ASH. The factory that made it also made certain Fender and Ibanez Japanese models. The build quality is amazing for the price and I wouldn't hesitate to get another. I've actually looked at a few several times.

Awesome. I’ve heard people say they’re made alongside some of the Prestige stuff. I have a very ir hey trigger finger for one.

I was looking at the Mythic yesterday. Almost pulled the trigger.

So these are made where the Japanese Fenders And Ibanez Prestiges are? Very interesting. Their LP model guitars look really nice.

5 years old, but good info and factory tour:

Never heard of them. I’ve been wanting a 7 string, but don’t want to pay big bucks. This one looks cool, but I wouldn’t spend $1,200 on it. https://fgnguitars.com/eg/mythic/jmy72ashe/

Yeah I was looking at the previous iteration of that. There's one on Reverb in White with Duncan's for $799 which is what made me pose the question.

I just ordered a black Mythic 6-string, so we'll see how they are. Should ship sometime in the next week or two. I may get the 7 string too if I like the 6.

Very interested in hearing your thoughts.

Yes, I have one:

It’s 26.25” scale length but, I use it in standard as I love the tension of the strings on this guitar like that. Exactly the right amount of give, very easy for pick control. Well made. Sounds and feels great. Highly recommend FGN and yes they make almost every MIJ Ibanez. When the time comes for some D standard I’ll use this instead of my Ibanez RGA321 which is what I used before for D.

Their Neo-Classic series looks pretty cool. Do they have dealers in the US or can you only get new ones direct from FGN USA?

I was just looking on reverb and found one.

I opted for another Guerilla. I got a great deal from Kosta on an old stock 7 string, and figured I live my other 2 so if I’m gonna be stuck with something I’ll take a loss on if I need to sell it for any reason, go with something familiar.

I know of XYZ guitars on reverb and Axe Palace. I just ordered a Mythic from Axe Palace.

Reviving this thread. Anyone sour on the fgn branded guitars? The prices look good.
