GUEST,Nick Dow Has anyone played a Yamaha transacoustic (12) RE: Has anyone played a Yamaha transacoustic 01 Jun 18

I've been using my Yamaha for years. I've binned off some pretty expensive guitars to return to it.
It's the best I've found over the last 40 years. It's an FG365se. The very first to have electrics added in 1983. Yam. Rosewood laminates are that good they are better than some other solid back and sides.
The rosewood gives the bass a punch which I love.
The ARE system used in modern Yammys gives a similar sound but the price is prohibitive, try them out though. Look upon a Yamaha as raw material when you get it. Set it up change the nut, bridge and add brass bridge pins, put a set of Schallers or Grovers on if necessary and enjoy. Here endeth the lesson.
