Jeff Terrell's Yamaha FG-360 |

I received this e-mail from Jeff Terrell on December 27, 2011. Here is his story:
Hi David: I saw your website and wanted to tell you about my Yamaha. I don't know much about the guitar itself, but the history is kind of fun. See attached pictures, as well as the original tag that came with the guitar. I bought it new, probably in 1975, at Apex Music in downtown San Diego--long gone now. They had a selection of 15 FG-360s and I tried every one of them. Mine was the sweetest, or course. I exchanged the original tuners for silver Grover tuners, that matched the old screw holes. I had it re-fretted in 2001 or so. SN is 41219726. I had a pick-up installed (gigged for a few years) at American Dream music around 1976. There's a good chance that the guitar tech at American Dream was Bob Taylor (Taylor Guitars), as he certainly worked there. The tone is still magic. It is a keeper.
