Members Dan Hall Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 I was just looking for a bamboo yammy on G-base and this popped up. This is a good one eh? In those days I had a '67 D-18 and remember being stunned at how good some of those yamahas were. Was this one of them? http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetails.aspx?Item=1909215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ohioarrow Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 That pre-dates my FG-340 by a half dozen years. I'd be tickled just to find an original truss rod cover for that puppy though. Mine cracked, never could find and original to replace it with. I finally made one that looks good, but not original.

Members babablowfish Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 Looks pretty. If it sounds anything like the FG-340 it is a winner. I see that it was never sold in the US. Buy it and let us know how it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Freeman Keller Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 As witth any old Yamie, the neck angle would make or break the deal for me. Remember that they are very difficult to reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
