Yamaha FG-180

by Suzanne
(Florida)

This guitar is approximately 39 to 40 years old. My Aunt purchased it new from a music store in downtown Jacksonville, FL. (I think it was Paulus Music Store).

It has a red label inside with:

Yamaha Guitar
FG-180
Nippon Gakki

The serial number inside is stamped as:
786575
There is a "Made in Japan"
sticker on the back of the neck.

It is in very good condition but does have a few nicks on the sides and back.

ANSWER

Hi, Suzanne--

Yamaha has produced several different models of the FG series over the years. The FG-140, FG-180, and the FG-300 were the original 6-string jumbo guitars introduced in 1969.

The Blue Book says:

These guitars never sold for too much money, and because of this aren´t very collectible today. Most of these guitars were played on because they may have been a guitarist's first instrument. Most guitars are worth between $50-$350 depending on the condition and features.


Best Wishes!
