Members kimona Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I've got an FG335. It's a very decent guitar that can hold it's own against many great guitars, including solid tops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bloody hammer Posted October 23, 2011 Members Share Posted October 23, 2011 I too have a Yamaha FG-335 from the late 70's. I bought it back in high school and have loved it ever since. I have dragged it through all kinds of situations (good times/bad times). It may be beat up looking but it sounds just as good as ever... even better! So, now all these years later I'm starting to take stock of what I have and look back on things. Many years ago I was goofy enough to put a sticker inside the guitar... right on top of the label. I guess I thought it would look cool or something. At some point I tore off the sticker and unfortunately some of the label came off with it. That didn't really bother me at the time but now I wish I was able to read the label a little better. It's definitely a FG-335 but what I can't see is the serial number., Also, does anyone know what the "MN" stamp on the right side of label stands for? I've searched on-line for photos of these FG-335 labels and of the few I could find that area of the label was just a blank line. Any ideas?

Members Robert Altman Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Well I'll keep this undead thread going. No I don't have a 335 but I do have an FG 336SB. Now Yamaha seems to be a little schizophrenic about there numbering so I checked both numbers on Guitarchive. Identical specs and years of manufature. Why didn't they just call it a 335SB instead of wasting another number. Strange. And the 336 is also a nice sounding instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members natewill18 Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just bought a excellent condition Yammy FG 335 at an Arkansas Pawn shop for 90 buucks. Just got a new set up and a custom bone nut and 80/20 11 's to see if I can brighten up the warm tone a bit. I use my guitars for pop studio recordings, so I can benefit from a brighter tone. What do you guys think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JohnCT Posted June 11, 2014 Members Share Posted June 11, 2014 I couldn't resist resurrecting this thread... I have a Yamaha FG335 from 1977 that belonged to a friend from new for a while before he left it at my house and we've kind of agreed its been mine ever since. I have gigged with it on and off all that time and it has just played on regardless. I currently string it with Rotosound phosphor bronze 12s and it sounds wonderful. I had it professionally set up with a new nut and the saddle replaced just over a year ago. I also added a DiMarzio sound hole pickup. This guitar just continues to deliver 36+ years on.

Members jreddavies Posted March 26, 2016 Members Share Posted March 26, 2016 I bought an FG 335 in a boot sale in the South-east of England more than 30 years ago. It had no strings was full of dead leaves and had been left out in the rain I think. I paid £20 for it and restrung it and it has been a great guitar ever since. I now live in France and I've now given it to my grandson but whenever I go touring it goes with me as a great traveling instrument because it is so well built. It has been to all round Europe to Holland, Belgium Italy, Croatia, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. A couple of years ago it went down through Spain and Morocco, Western Sahara and Mauritania to Senegal where it sprung a peg while playing with some guys we met near Dacca. It went on to the Gambia where I manufactured a peg from a bit of hardwood I found on a campsite and the peg is still there as a souvenir. It now lives with my grandson in a French boulangerie and I play it every time I'm there to help serve in the shop. It improves with age and compares very well with all my other guitars and was certainly built to last. For £20 who needs more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sufidancer Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 The venerable Yamaha 335. I first got it as payment for a drawing I made back in the early 90's from a friend who said she got it in the 80s. I went on a GAS craze and sold it for almost nothing. 8 years later the dude I sold it to was selling it. I bought it restrung it and was floored how good it sounded, I mean it sound just as good as my Martin D15 or Guild D25. So I have gone full circle and will never part with my Yammy.

Members FretFiend. Posted September 23, 2016 Members Share Posted September 23, 2016 Here's the scorecard so far. This thread was: Originated in '05. Resurrected in '08. Resurrected again in '09. Resurrected again in '10. Resurrected again in early '11. Resurrected again in late '11. Resurrected again in '14. Resurrected again in early '16. And now it is resurrected once more here in late '16. Zombie1 would be proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 Is this the part where I show up and say I don't believe it's solid wood or capable of shaming a nice Martin or is that 2017? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted September 24, 2016 Members Share Posted September 24, 2016 [ATTACH=CONFIG]n31819577[/ATTACH] This. Classy, tasteful, poignant, benign, entertaining, charming, disarming and no one but Sean Bean can pull it off. It took 11 years to perfect but this is the meme-for-the-theme extraordinaire. Well done, well done. Perks me up having read that Terry Jones has dementia (for real this time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MajorAdobe Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 A google search on my Yamaha FG335 lead me to this amusing thread. It's been fun to see the reaction to the post never dying much like the guitar I suppose. I signed up with the purpose of letting it live. My grandfather gave this guitar to me 6 or so years ago. He got it from his best friend after he passed away in the late 80's. Lots of memories tied up in this thing. Still sounds beautiful and still holds cigarette smoke from the 80's.
