I can attest to what a great guitar the FG200 is. I own a 1972 FG200 that I bought new in 1972 when I was 16. Mine has the tan label and is made in Japan. Later models were built in Taiwan. They are all laminate construction. I actually preferred the tone of my FG200 to the red label FG180 model I compared it to. I had a good friend at the time who had a Martin D18 ( which is what I wanted, but could not afford at the age of 16), and he was amazed at the tone of my Yammie. I have never had any neck or bridge problems whatsoever, and I have played the snot out of it. I play my Larrivees and Goodall more these days, but whenever I pick up the FG200 and hear the that soulful rumble it puts a smile on my face.
If you can get it for $75 just do it.
