Paul William Gibson

I just wanted to chip in here as I recently pulled my old FG400A out of the wardrobe where it sat for several years I was looking around on the ‘net to see if anybody else had one or still used one. My FG400A was the first decent acoustic I owned. I bought it new from Yamaha dealer Chappell’s Music in Milton Keynes here in the U.K. in August 1993 (serial number says manufacturered March 1993) for £250 - around £480 today. Mine’s in good condition, plays well and hold tuning adequately. It could do with a set up as the action is a little high higher up the neck but it sounds very sweet and I’m glad to have it back out. I was considering buying something ‘cheap’ to keep out and accessible in the living room, but I think I’ll just leave my old Yamaha out. Nice to be reacquainted with an old friend.
