Members dieseldude Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Anybody know what an FG-330's worth? My neighbor has on for $105. Doesn't sound bad. I think it would make a nice camping guitar. I haven't been able to find much about them on the web are they a red headed step child? D.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members babablowfish Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yamaha Archives:Year(s) Sold: 1977-81 Original MSRP(US$): $152.95 Top: Spruce Back / Sides: Agathis Neck: Nato Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood Bridge: Indian Rosewood Notes: Folk Guitar Folk Type HC Reviews:SummaryManufacturer URL http://www.yamaha.com/Features 6.5 (2 responses)Sound 10.0 (2 responses)Action, Fit, & Finish 8.0 (2 responses)Reliability/Durability 9.5 (2 responses)Customer Support N/A (0 responses)Overall Rating 9.0 (2 responses) Based on the above it sounds like another cheap, laminate folk guitar that sounds far better than it should. I am not personally familiar with that particular model, but I have loved the other Yamaha FGs that I have played.I would guess that $105.00 would be a good price so long as the neck isn't in need of a reset and the truss rod still works. If you do get it, throw in a bone saddle and try some brass bridge pins. Let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dieseldude Posted September 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanx guys I think I'll get it. I've got one other Yamaha FG160 that sounds beautiful but the action's a little high. The 330 has good action but doesn't sound quite as clear as the 160. imho. But the price is right, so i'll have another beater. D.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also experiment with a bone saddle to improve the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
