I got this fg200 yamaha in the early 70s, and would like to know price. serial # 41017131. It needs fret board and and body refinished. Is it worth it?

ANSWER

Hi, Randall--

The value of this guitar in excellent condition is
$200-250. A new fretboard and refinishing would take the value down to almost nothing, as Blue Book values are based on ORIGINAL condition guitars.

If you like the guitar and want to fix it to play it, then maybe it would be worth it. As far as restoring it to increase its value, I'm afraid that it is a losing proposition.
