i've bought and sold a dozen yamahas over years. iused to gig and busk on the road and would find them in junk stores(er i mean antique stores) or penny saver magazines from edmonton alnerta to boulder colorado. i should have kept a couple butn when i was broke they were always an easy sale.

u've had the fg 140, 160, 180 and 200 all red labels and some nippon gakki. they were all great guitars.better tnam any seventies martin.

the very best mass produced guitars ever made, especially the red labels. i had one i really ougt to have kept. a 180 but the bottom bought was an inch and a half wider than any other one i've seen. it wouldn't fit the standard case.

it was the best sounding one i ever played.

i used to wish i had kept one then the other day i wss in a pawn shop and there at5 the back was a fg180, all dirty and beat up but sounding like a dream. red label nipon gakki --so i think i'll keep this one
