My first guitar (1971) was a Japan FG200. Paid $125 of my hard earned dollars for it brand new. Everyone talks about about the FG180, but the FG200 more than holds it own. I also have a DW5S, which is fairly rare. It sounds very nice. But my favorite is my LL500 hand crafted. These are absolutely incredible guitars. It has bell like tones with unbelievable sustain. They were only sold for a few years around 2000-2004. Not many were sold because most of the public doesn't associate Yamaha with a $1200 guitar. If you are lucky enough to find one, buy it. You won't be disappointed.
