This thread made my day. I just got to the end of a 20-year quest to find out what model was my old, faithful Yamaha... I played my first Am chord on it at the age of 5 and it never left me, I went on tour with it, recorded albums, but for the life of me I never managed to find out the exact model. The label had been replaced by the shop's one, I just knew it was built on Dec 14, 1978 from the S/N. This guitar is absolutely crazy, every musician I ever played with commented on it, it has such a HUGE projection. I play percussive style guitar and no other instrument i ever tried has ever come close to the fullness of this one. I've had it refretted in 2012, and it's going to my luthier soon in order to install a multi-pickup solution. It plays like a charm and sounds like no other. And now that I know that it was a lowly entry-level guitar, I'm even prouder of it. What a day it has been.
