Yamaha FG-140 Nippo Gakki Red Label

I like 70s and some 80s Yamahas... What do you want to know about it?

I am rolling my eyes at you for answering my question by essentially repeating your overly broad question. I should tell youtodoa google search, but here goes...

Assuming your guitar was made before like 96? You have a low endmodel. The lower the # the less it costs in old yamaha guitars. Anything beliw 700 in the 70s is usually meh when it comes toelectrics. Anything under 1000 in the 80s is not always so hot. It can depend on the seriesthough. Others have irregular numbering on a few models. Some were built at better plants than others. Yamaha's SG, SF and SA series are the collectible guitars as long as they are models from 72 to 85ish. Not just because a lot of famous guys have used them either. They are genuinely nice electrics. FG stands for folk guitar i think and designates a yamaha dreadnaught acoustic. These are variable quality guitars and not very collectible like the more popular electrics. What year is your FG and i will see what else i know... If its newer than 1990 i have no clue Yamaha changed the numbering of their guitars in the 90s and also really fucked with their whole line... Thats when the strat like guitar became the pacifia for instance... They also stopped sending the good guitars to the usa then and focused on our student market.

Edit: A 5 second google search on my fucking phone revealed your guitar was made between 68 and 72 at which point it was revised a bit and rebranded as an fg150 which is from the same series as the popular fg180. Your guitar is not from yamaha's best era but its probably better than a mid 80s one and definitely better than anything they have put outsince the 90s. Its a lower end acoustic but not botyom of the barrel. If you like, it keep it because even assuming its in excellent shape its still not worth more than $500 on a good day. If you don't like it or its a fixerupper i might consider buying it from you for 3 or 4 hundred. I could use a spare mij acoustic to knock around on.

I think elliott smith favored a higher end model from the 72 to 85 fg series...
