Yamaha FG180 Saw an iteresting one today
On Yamaha's archives they list the FG180 as a guitar from 66-74. Those would be the red lable. The archive says 3 piece back? Well mine (a 69-70) has a 2 peice and as far as I knew that was the norm.
The one I saw today was made in Tiawan. The peg head looks like an FG1500 on the outside it has a Maple striped 3 peice back. Inside shows a 2 piece. So, not solid wood The sound was soso, but the strings were 20 + years old. Does anyone have any further info?

Hmmm... The strings were old enough to vote. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?

I think my FG-180 is a 12 piece back - I mean how many laminate layers are there on each half?
f-d

lofapco - if I may step in front of Junkie here.
This is a laminate top etc. A few Yammie Jumbos from that era have been popping up on Ebay the last few months. They sold for a little less then the price on that one. It's prolly a decent beater. I would offer the seller about 2/3 of what they are asking. I haven't played any of these Yamaha Jumbos. Has anyone here?

Darn, it got deleted by the seller before I got to see her!
A great, easy to acquire fer cheap is the F335. Sub $200. Knock it off with that plug in stuff  BTW I have 2 solid topped Jumbo Yamaha's (CJX12, Compass north) the tones are fantastic.
