Yamaha FG-340

Yamaha FG340, made in Taiwan, in 1977, an early version. V-neck slightly beefy enough.
All laminated spruce top, mahogany body, three-piece back, martin style D35. Mechanical yamaha. the guitar has a lot of brands, but seems very solid. Highly appreciated by fans of old Yamaha model.

UTILIZATION

Nice run, I set the height of the strings, because I like pretty low action. guitar shape dread, volume but easy to play even if it is rather heavy.
Gets it easy to sound good? Yes or arpeggio strumming either.

SOUNDS

I read a lot of reviews about the guitar forum, and everyone speaks very well, actually this old yamaha is pretty amazing. A rich, round, good bass, rhythmic It can easily compete with much more expensive guitars.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently acquired and I have already wanted to share my experience. Occas bought a modestly priced (under $ 200) this guitar is really a great deal. I also have a FG200 that I love, and I was very curious to try this model. For all laminated guitar, it has a really amazing sound ... I wonder what technique was to make these Yamaha guitars and especially why it no longer produces this model .... laminated guitars have a pretty bad reputation, but the FG340 is an exception.

Dreadnought factory in Japan
good finish

UTILIZATION

All standard, not surprisingly optimistic
handle good compromise, enjoyable and fast

SOUNDS

Always a good sound
well planned, can be somewhat sche (to find something wrong), but also strings adpend
