mattobenvenuto « yamaha fg 200 »
Published on 07/01/13 at 00:58Model made in Taiwan, I do not know the exact date of manufacture, it seems late 70s. Handle quite thick, but very enjoyable round.
I do not know the materials that yamaha on some forum talking about solid table on any other laminate.
UTILIZATION
Like I said, but nice thick sleeve on mine perfect action, the body is smaller than a standard dread, overweight is quite correct. Access to the treble pretty good, given the shape of the body.
Gets it easy to sound good? Yes but you have not bouriner, must take it with delicacy.
SOUNDS
I play mostly folk blues, many pieces in open tuning, in the style Jim O'rourke, John Fahey ecc ... and this guitar is a real treat, handle, warm sound, well balanced, round, good bass. The guitar responds superbly to fingerpickink. Slightly scuffed his roots and woody enough. I wanted a more snapping than others (I also own a gibson j45) guitar. This guitar has a really clean sound with respect to account went on youtube and searched Norberto Lobo, young Portuguese guitarist. he plays on a FG 200.
OVERALL OPINION
I think almost thirty years of age are doing well ripen the wood and glue, this guitar on occasion paid € 200 a was a great surprise. The former owner had set the handle and string height. plus it was a real passion so much care we were given was this guitar.
Value for money for me unbeatable. Certainly it is not super easy to find, must be careful to internet speculation, but considering the price of U.S. skyscrapers of that time the yamaha fg 200 is a bargain.
If you come across an absolutely must try it!
