One switch for each pickup is stupid. How do you quickly change from bridge to neck and back? I would rewire it. Have one switch similarly to a Les Paul that goes bridge <-> neck. Have it a 3 way switch so that when you put it in the middle, the pickups are off. Then keep the switch which turns the middle on and off. When the middle is on, the 3-way switch would go : Bridge+Middle, Middle, Middle+Neck. Of course, keep the coil tap also. So three switches would do it all. The remaining drill hole could be used for something interesting, like a switch that brings in some low-value tone caps without resistance to achieve tone changes that a tone control won't do.

Sounds awesome us that the seagull excursion 12 string

This is technically an acoustic instrument. I have 3 of these. One can mic it up if amplification is desired.

I forgot about that loud fan! 😂 I played the hell out of the song book that came with it, and to the day am haunted by foot-tappers like “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer dooo” Pretty sure either my little brother or parents broke it after the 300th chorus.

I have one... its just awesome. Warm rich and its me. Thanks

That was a great demo of what that model can do. A good friend of mind has one and I am really struck by it.? What model amp were you playing through please? And thanks.

I had an sa2000 but I did sell it. Now I have an sa2200 not the same. I think I liked the neck on sa2000 better although it is very close.

I got one of these several years ago from Guitar Center for US$78. I’ve long intended to upgrade the tuners, but I haven’t done it yet.

Would like to know which strings you put on it! Thanks ❤

THAT YAMAHA IS SO COOL THE S A 2200 IT IS BETTER GUITAR THAN A GIBSON

I have one with a little bit of a neck problem, no one will work on it. They all tell me the repair will cost more than the guitar is worth. It sounds great to me as long as you only play the first 3 frets.

The Yamaha FG340T was made between 1981 and 1985.

I could have bought one similar to that in 1985 for $600. Which was a lot of money at the time. They also had a KK Downing Hamer Flying V. The V was over $1,000, which was a huge amount of money in the 80’s.

I own an FG 340ii that I've owned for 30 years. Love it. My research says the 340T was manufactured from 1981-1985...

Got a similar guitar back in 1982. It's been my workhorse since than.

Nice guitar! I like how versatile it is!

I think the Norlin years have gotten a bad rap, Gibson made some very innovative guitars back in the day, most now highly sought after.

We had one of these as children. Drove my mum nuts and then the whole thing would overheat

Wow Tommy nailin' it. Such a difficult song to sing.

Melodicas are still popular in music classes and even in some playrooms today but I wonder why these are not because this seems like a first beginner instrument and it seems easy to learn and it seems like a kid friendly instrument as well but I don’t think they make them like they used to which is sad because music classes and music therapy classes could benefit from one of these it’s just basically a melodica but without a mouthpiece and with a fan built-in to it which is easy to play you don’t have to blow into it it’s already done for you I feel like schools could use them and not in the past but still today they could use these instruments basically as well as the ever so popular piano or electronic keyboard yeah but this instrument has lots of possibilities I wonder who makes them nowadays I wonder if there’s still a company in India or somewhere like that that makes these

The best way to explain one of these is It’s in melodica or accordion but just with a fan in it

Do you guys know what a melodica is? Well tell them it’s a melodica but with a fan on it

There was also the Bontempi cord organs as well as the silver tone cord organs as well

I really like this song!

What a great tune!!

You have a really good voice and this is a catchy tune

Thanks for letting us take a listen! 😁👋

Is that Michael Sweet singing?

The Magnus was my beginning. I took it serious and soon learned to play just about any song I wished to learn by ear. I wouldn't mind having one today for old times sake.

Very good guitar! But now better than a 335 wow I own both but wouldn't say that. & more popular in Europe that's cause a 335 costs a fortune there! But good advertising

Found this video because i just acquired one if these off marketplace for dirt cheap. It sounds better than my cheapo Starcaster i also got cheap.🤣 Ive already stripped it down for a Franky copy build. It played awesome before the teardown. I already ordered new roller bridge and other gold plated mods. But i was wondering what year(s)these were made if anyone knows? Thanks for the video! 🎸

Sounds too tinny for me , like my last CC

Hi ! Beautiful playing ! Are those stock pickups ? Thank you.

What is a zero fret? What is the bluetooth tailpiece you added?

I have the same, likely same year. But I'll admit I didn't know what the 5 positions offered. Must read manuals. What's the black stuff you put on the neck pickup? I tend to tonk and plonk the first pickup on my Exit-22 ...

Wow! Love the sound!

Love it Tim! you rock!

Why is this guitar not popular? I love guitars that are not cookie cutter and have a unique look. This one is a winner!

Its the same of kv560 without the floyd?

That's a beautiful little guitar & It sounds amazing 👍👍

saw one on reverb last year .Didnt have the 1600$.....im such an idiot

i missed buying one in a pawn shop in Montreal for 200$ years ago ......im such an idiot!

I have a 1965 Harmony Archtone (just like yours). When friends come by they want to play that first over my Martin, my Jazzmaster, or anything else I have.

I have one plays great sounds great!

I'm looking at this one in the worn black. I'll probably pull the trigger on it in the next couple months. I already have a LP Special HH that I stripped and repainted red and installed humbucker sized P90s, but I kinda want one with real P90s.

This actually sounds so phenominal what the heck!

So cool

Wow. That sounds nice. It must be the guitarist.

Very nice, thanks Russ

Thank you I had one of these. OMG I did the same thing with the cord buttons that's funny. I still have the song book.
