Yamaha FG1200j



I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS ITEM.I HAVE NO IDEA OF PRICE.

ANSWER

Hello--

This is what the Blue Book says about the FG models:

"There are a good 50 different models, and each one has a different feature. These guitars never sold for too much money, and because of this aren´t very collectible today. Most of these gutiars were played on because they may have been a guitarists first instrument. Most guitars are worth between $50-$250 depending on the condition and features."

This is a unique instrument
by: Anonymous

I also have an FG1200J and it is a very unique instrument. I always have to qualify it when I tell people that I have a Yamaha. Yamaha makes great workhorse guitars; but this one is a true thoroughbred.

I just worked on an FG1200J
by: Steve Beckwith

Hi folks, I build guitars and also repair them. I just finished doing some fretwork and a set-up on a friend's FG1200J. I'll tell you flat out it's one of the finest guitars I've played. It sounds great and the action was outstanding when he gave it to me to set-up but he wanted it even lower (he's actually a drummer).

I was in a Guitar Center this past Saturday and I played quite a few Martins and Taylors and a few Gibsons. This guitar was better than any of them. Of course GC seems to keep strings on their instruments way to long...

It does play as well and sound as good as my 1956 D-18. Contrasting it to the instruments I've built the sound quality is comprehible but different (as with all guitars). However, it's action is better than how I currently set-up my instruments.

yamaha fg 1200j
by: oldfingerz

If you have this model guitar then it's a very rare find these days.The FG 1200j is one of the high end handmade models made for a short period in the mid 1970s it's all solid wood with a spruce top, jacaranda back and sides and ebony fingerboard.I have one myself from new and it's a great instrument.Should be quite valuable the last one I saw for sale was £1500 a few years ago.
