Members kimona Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hey, all you Yamaha guitar enthusiasts. I came across a Yamaha FG410 A/E today... in really fine condition. I'm guessing it's about 20 years old. Do you think this laminate top guitar has any value as a collectible. Guy's asking $180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T.B. Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hey, all you Yamaha guitar enthusiasts. I came across a Yamaha FG410 A/E today... in really fine condition. I'm guessing it's about 20 years old. Do you think this laminate top guitar has any value as a collectible. Guy's asking $180. The Yamaha FG-410E is from the second half of the '80s. It was the lower priced one of a couple of dreadnoughts in the FG-series that had built-in piezo pickups and controls on the bass-side of the upper-bout.... right? I wouldn't pay no more than ~ $110.00. Kimona if you like guitar and it sounds great it's your call .... Trina P.S. They have a Yamaha FG410 on sale on Ebay now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=170209400272&Category=2385&_trksid=p3907.m29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daklander Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 I've heard of a 410, a 410A and a 410E, not an A/E. The straight 410 was probably about $175.00, the A about $275.00 and the E about $300.00 street prices back then. Stick the serial number here and let us know what it says. The serial number should be on a cross brace, just under the soundboard and toward the neck when you look into the sound hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chill Mike D Posted December 26, 2008 Members Share Posted December 26, 2008 Huh. I have an FG410A from 1989 and can't find anything about the model on the internet. It's not a version with electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members simplygoodmusic Posted December 26, 2008 Members Share Posted December 26, 2008 I also own a FG 410... nice little guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chill Mike D Posted December 26, 2008 Members Share Posted December 26, 2008 Yeah, I have no complaints at all about it. My brother just brought it back from Iraq and it's in surprisingly good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hydrick Posted May 10, 2021 Members Share Posted May 10, 2021 I have, i think, an fg 410a bl. It is black. Is it worth anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GregR Posted October 29, 2021 Members Share Posted October 29, 2021 I own a FG410E. Had it since the mid-80s. I used to put D'Addario light strings on it although I couldn't find those last time. I've been thinking about upgrading to a Zager because I have big hands and I buzz too many chords. Thoughts?

A few thoughts. First, Zagers are crap. Second, make sure your guitar is set up properly. Buzzing can be caused by improper geometry and a guitar as old as yours probably has structural issues. Third, work on your technique. Buzzing from sloppy playing can be minimized. Fourth, if you're intent on "upgrading," go to a brick and mortar guitar store and try a bunch of guitars and see what feels right. Good luck.
