Ever get drunk and say/do something really stupid? Yeah, me to when I posted that last night.Ranting Thespian wrote:The reason why it's good, is beacuse it's 35 years old! Yamaha used to make good guitars (hence Dave's jumbo, that he loves and still plays), but over the years, Yamaha had to compete, so they lowered quality to lower prices. The same thing for Epiphones, but not as extreme as yamaha, so Epiphones still have quality, just not as good as they used to be. Plus, they have Eilite Epiphones now, which are how they used to be built, with good quality.SgtM wrote:Well, maybe I'm just screwed up or something.. I have a Yamaha FG340 (acoustic).. it's about 35 years old. I love playing it. Overtones and highs ring for days.. no problems with tuning, warping anything.. finish is still great.. just my 2 cents........
- An old Yamaha in good shape is a good guitar.
- A new Yamaha in good shape, fire wood.
Anyway, that's what I thought.. the thing is old, and made better back then. Now, if only the player was as good as the guitar, things would be kewl..
