  1. You had a Yamaha neck reset for $100?!! Where does the line form? Not just the neck reset, he did something to line it up with the saddle, lowered it or something then cut the grooves for the strings a little deeper to align everything. THEN he restrung it with new strings for me. The guy's name is Larry here in NM at a place called Grandmas (I'd link it but I'm not sure of the rules of this forum, so google it if you're interested, they can be found.) Honestly I was pretty blown away when he called with the estimate. I told him "Definitely, go ahead and do it!" and he said "Oh good I'm glad you said that because I already did it." LOL
  2. I apologize for bumping an old thread but searched the FG335 and came up here. I just had mine re-tooled, restrung. My teenaged daughter decided she wanted to play so I dug mine old Yamaha out of the closet where it's been for probably 15 years so I could teach her. The guy at Grandmas Music told me it was in excellent condition, built like a tank, but needed some work, which he did for about $100. I bought it in 1977 ... and I'll tell ya, with the saddle recut, the neck reset and the strings replaced it sounds as good as it did the day I bought it. I don't care that it's not worth much, it's still a beautiful instrument.
