Members blueradioz Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 Awesome Dreadnaught Acoustic - In the spirit of Martin. I believe this is an early 80s model. The solid spruce top has aged to an incredible golden glow - at least 25 years old! Beautiful ringing tone with dark pearly bass and nice treble sparkle. This is one of the best guitars Yamaha made. Comes in softshell case. I can send pictures, if you email me: david@rkwrealestate.com I have been pretty obsessive about this model. I currently own three of these. I'm selling one or maybe two. $300 Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueradioz Posted June 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2007 I have buckets of pictures of both of these FG 450 - S. Let me know if you'd like me to send a few. They are about 1MB each. Cool, Thanks! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueradioz Posted June 14, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2007 I have decided to sell two of the three I own. I started with 5. Here's some additional information: The build specs on the FG 450 s changed through the 80s. These early ones that I have with the bird on the headstock are, for some reason, miles above the later ones (with the leaf on the headstock). The leaf headstock ones are very common, and are duller, to my ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitar23 Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 And it was a piece of {censored} -- JUST KIDDING! I can vouch for Dave. I bought the other one in June or thereabouts. It was exactly as he described and it plays great. Has a very nice sound that takes years for a guitar to develop.... These are extremely worthy guitars for the money. I own several Yamahas and love them all, including the one Dave sold me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blueradioz Posted November 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2007 Thanks all for the interesting PMs on your vintage Yamaha guitars - and for the guys who now own these FGs. Aloha,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitar23 Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi, Dave can vouch for me, I bought the first one off him in June. While there are no issues at all with it, it's barely left its case in 5 months.... I play Martins and Ovations and bought a really nice Taylor this summer. So Dave, if anyone who was interested wants to contact me, please do. I spent $300 plus $33 for shipping. So I'd like to get that back. I'm in NYC and Paypal and shipping would be buyer's responsibility. Or you can send me a certified check and/or pick up in NYC. No need to sell, just not playing this and my 336-SB is still a great guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
