I got one of the old FG140s back in seventy-four. I think it cost me thirty-eight quid. It was my first busking guitar and it served me pretty well. I also liked the thin neck. I sold it in the early eighties, when I got the chance to acquire a Fylde Oberon, an instrument from which I will never part willingly. I liked the old FG140, but I thought the FG180 was greatly superior in every way.
