I have a 37 year old Yamaha FG160 and I am the original owner.

I remember at the time thinking..should have paid a bit more and got the 180 but this is still a great guitar.

It's still in ok condition, plays pretty well, a bit dull because who treats old and relatively cheap guitars to new strings much, or even cleans them?

These days it spends most of it's time as a visitors curiousity piece in my daughters flat. But I have told her, she damages it or loses it under pain of death.

One day it will be safely back in my room, and it will be an emotional re-union. I used to play it as a member of an acoustic pub band years (and years) ago. In it's time, for those of you who are old enough to remember, it's hammered out America's "Horse with no Name" and "Riverside" to name just a few, and I could actually do the leads quite well, he he. Still can.

Now it gets Avril Lavigne chords laid across it, but they are pretty mean chords actually so it's ok.

Ah, I'm getting wet eyed..better stop now....

Dave.
