Members MaxVolume Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 My friend wants me to teach him a few guitar tricks, and this is is main guitar. It's a Yamaha, but what kind? Do any Yamaha gurus out there have a comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Samilyn Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 From the pic, I think I see a sticker inside. Please give us model and serial numbers and any other information you can read on that sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Thanks, Samilyn. It's a Yamaha FG-331 Very nice guitar...only made for about 4 years from 1978-82 I believe. I know because I had one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Samilyn Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 I believe OGP is correct. Though considered an "entry level" guitar, the 331s reportedly had fabulous sound quality, according to a couple of sites I checked. that's quite typical of Yammies - they are lots of git for the buck. Here is a link for the Yamaha Serial Number Wizard. Once at the Yamaha page, look on the left-hand sidebar and click on the wizard. Type in the serial number if you have one and run the wizard. If memory serves me correctly, Yammie serial numbers repeat every 10 years, but I'm not entirely sure of that. Hopefully, the wizard will be able to tell you when the git was made. http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/Catalog/Catalog_GSMFCX/0,6357,CTID=221350&CNTYP=&VNM=LIVE&AFLG=Y,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MaxVolume Posted January 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Very nice! We're trying to find the serial #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T.B. Posted January 27, 2008 Members Share Posted January 27, 2008 Very nice! We're trying to find the serial #. It may be stamped on the inside of the top bracing where the neck ends. Very nice guitar I think the FG331 is a later day model of the FG150. Trina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daklander Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Very nice guitar...only made for about 4 years from 1978-82 I believe. I know because I had one... Yer close.... '77-'81 according to the Archive. Spruce top, Mahogany body, Nato neck, Rosewood fretboard and bridge. MSRP $160.00. MaxVolume! The serial number should be just inside the sound hole on that top brace toward the neck. Would you measure the body width at the upper and lower bouts, the length and the thickness and post them here please? The body looks very much like a FG150. Samilyn, Yeah, 10 year cycles.
