Subject: RE: Ever played a Yamaha guitar?
Hi

Some years ago - around 1976 - I bought a Yamaha FG-360.

At the time I had to by it quickly due to the demise of my Martin in a car accident....RIP.

As an acoustic it has a great sound and was louder than my Martin. However I didn't use it that much as I had a couple of old Hofners and they were better for what I was playing at the time.

The other day I was clearing out my old(e) music room and came across my Yamaha again.

I am trying now seek out what people here think of it.

I don't have a reference No but it has a label inside that reads

YAMAHA FG-360
Nippon Gakki Co Ltd.

And it has the letters NK stamped in ink on one of the perpendicular struts.

I restrung it with a set of old Martin medium strings ( bought in about 1980 ) The sound is still very good but not quite as bright as when I put it to rest 30ish years ago.
Can anyone tell me anything else about this???

cheers
