John Werder's Yamaha FG-360

 






I was first contacted by Jack on February 28, 2021. This FG-360 would be the 36th Taiwanese model that we know of and number 143 overall.
Hello,

My name is Jack Werder and in 1974 I bought a Yamaha FG-360. I saw your post about your FG and decided to get some info about mine! It's my go-to axe for parties, camp fires, etc! I also have a 1990 Martin D35 which I love, but I have to say if I had to get rid of one, it would be so long Martin! I believe it's a Taiwan built, SN I think, is 497019, because I had it voiced in 1976 by a local luthier, and it's been sanded a bit and is quite faded. There is another # on the neck block, which I have no idea what it stands for, it is 0632976. I beat the hell out of that guitar for well over 40 yrs and it keeps sounding better and better! It actually fell off a pickup truck going 50 mph and didn't go out of tune! lol Thanks for any info you would have about it! I'm in Hilton, NY btw.

Thanks again, Jack 
Our thanks to Jack for contacting us.

Webmaster's note:  The serial number provided does not make sense because it does not fit in Yamaha's numbering sequence.  It is so faded, however, that the correct number can not be determined.
