Yamaha (Nippon Gakki) Orange Label FG 351B D 28, MIJ 1978-80

I have a number of return customers who are collectors or professional musicians, they recognize that vintage MIJ Acoustic Guitar are on average far better value than today's brand new guitars. There are others who buy from curiosity or are buying based on reviews from sites like Harmony Central. For 1st time purchasers of a MIJ guitar it is only after purchasing and playing one of my vintage guitars such as Yamaha, Tokai, Terada, Morris and Suzuki that they appreciate the fine quality and sound. In many cases the build quality and sound of the models that I offer is far superior to that offered by new modern high-end solid wood models. Typical of the feedback associated with these guitars on Harmony Central is that they give 'a beautiful warm full sound when strummed, clear and bright when picked', and 'very easy and a pleasure to play’.

The Vintage Japanese guitars 'MIJ' that I offer are:

1. Selected as being representative of the best of their period, they are high quality craftsman built instruments and display a high degree of hand finishing.

2. Selected because they provide good Resonance and Balanced sound, in some case better than modern solid wood guitars. Dependant on manufacture they vary between sweet, vibrant or strong and rich tones.

3. Selected because they are manufactured using very a high grade of materials and the construction shows a high degree of craftsmanship. Standard models make use of very high-grade laminates while up market models use presentation grade solid seasoned woods in their construction.

I personally examine and carefully clean, polish and set up each guitar and I ensure that they are properly packaged so that they arrive safely.

Please review my feedback and the testimonials provided by happy and satisfied customers who now enjoy vintage MIJ guitars.

I am confident that you will also be happy to have this vintage Yamaha FG Acoustic Guitar.
