Well...it is now 2018 and I, too, was drawn to this amazing discussion thread by Googling for info about my FG-335 purchased in about 1978-1980 at a pawn shop in Fayetteville, NC as I was passing through on a trip down I95 from Virginia. This guitar replaced the “Sears Deluxe” acoustic I’d played as a child that had been stolen (who steals a guitar from Sears?!?). It was after getting this FG-335 that I started to really play seriously, since the action wasn’t a half-inch high like my former git-fiddle. Tonight, after almost 40 years of playing this little gem, a bit of the plastic saddle broke off. So now I’m considering putting in a bone saddle and maybe doing a fret leveling or partial refret to put it back in top playable shape. While I imagine no one really cares to know all these details, I felt compelled to breathe new life into this wonderful thread here in 2018. :-)
