Robin Danneels' Yamaha FG-360

 

Robin Danneels
I was first contacted by Robin on October 24, 2024. This FG-360 is the 30th Japanese model that was not exported to the US and number 188 overall.
Hello,
I'm Robin from Belgium ☺
I also have a Yamaha FG 360 it's located in Wingene nearby Bruges in Belgium.
My father bought this guitar in '74' he remembers. He used this guitar to write his songs and later used it in Studio's in Hilversum -The Netherlands to record their first album 'Why' (1978) and 3 years later the album 'Who cares' under the name Second Life.
The guitar looks very beaten up😁but i did recently a complete set up and upgrades like bone nut and saddle replacement because the original was in cheap plastic
After 50 years i finally got the guitar like it should be after the upgrades and adjustments on the neck ... It sounds very good now and the action is ok☺ I learned playing guitar with this guitar.  I also recorded tracks with it and used it as entertaining during the X-Factor tournament which i was as a singer in the finals back in 2005. I wrote very good songs with the guitar
There is no number on the label but i found a number on the end of the fretboard on the left side from the soundhole but the two last numbers are almost invisible.
Nr 303284(53)
Made in Japan
I hope you can make something about it more specifically.
Here are some songs so you can hear the guitar in the recordings☺ All acoustic guitar tracks where recorded with the Yamaha FG 360
