Bob Dzerk's Yamaha FG-360

 

 

The first email came from Bob on October 11, 2016.


I purchased a Yamaha FG-360 that I found on Craig's List in Lincoln, NE in September 2016.  I paid $100.  In my subjective non-expert opinion, it sounds great!
The 8 digit serial number is: 50719105
There is a number inside at the neck joint:  0624??  the last two digits are worn, only the top of the digits remain and could be either 0,9, or 8.  There is no visible trace of a seventh digit, but it could have completely worn away.
Portions of the top around the inside of the sound hole have worn through the finish reveling the raw wood and I do not see any indication of lamination. 
According to the US Dept. of Labor, the retail price of $376 in 1975 is the equivalent of $1683 in 2016 when adjusted for inflation.
Thanks David for your work in compiling and presenting information on this instrument.
