Yamaha FG 140 Japan Nippon Gakki Red Label Huge Tone For Sold

[@honestnewsnet]

Can you tell me what’s involved in purchasing one of these through eBay? Are there import fees into the United States after the purchase? Thanks.

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

Mine I bought in 1968 for $125. I wanted a Martin but they were $750, if I recall. It traveled with me everywhere and still sounds great and better than ever. Thanks Kindly!

[@susanroycroft89]

Nice playing And a nice acoustic, they certainly sound top quality 😮😮😊

[@polkzoo]

Thanks……I have been playing a long time and put in a lot of hard work and practice and it is my passion. My meditating helps me to play at the level I do. Thanks for saying hi and glad you enjoy it.

[@lotusfeets]

meditation and making music is divine

[@late4suppa1]

Wow man nice playing! I have a guitar just like yours. The entire top has the silking your talking about. It’s my favorite acoustic. Sending it out to get mods. Thanks

[@deeferamoringo]

Very good string match. Do you remember the brand and gauge? Thanks

[@polkzoo]

I agree as it really has mature voice. I also have a 70s FG 180 nippon gakki that sounds great.Thanks for tuning in and saying hi and your comment.

[@polkzoo]

This is the only one have but very much like the FG-180 which has gotten more press but pretty much the same guitar. Thanks for tuning in and dropping by. SZ

[@sarahgracebrooks2629]

You will find the body is wider... from top to the back. to me it is louder than the 180.

[@zacengledowhome]

Are you selling because im buying? Sounds great also a lot more full bodied than the Takamine and others. I just heard you were selling. Will you ship to Aus can u get a case and ill reimburse? Thanks so much.

[@jamesdewer]

My parents bought me one in the early 70s. Narrow necked and the case hardware immediately rusted.

[@ClaytonWain]

The 180 is a laminate top ,the 140 is a solid top well kept secret lol .I have owned both and the 140 is a beautiful folk guitar

[@polkzoo]

My fg 150 orange label 70s made in Japan sound amazing probably should keep but letting it go color of too is that aged golden color beautiful and sounds like sweet mountain

[@badhabit8824]

You're playing there reminded me of Eric Mongrain. If you do not know who that is I highly suggest you check him out and definitely start with his first album It is undoubtedly his very best. The album Fates

[@polkzoo]

Very cool….enjoy it and thanks for tuning in and saying hi. SZ

[@apollomorris9920]

Thanks i learned from the coments here more about theses Yamaha.

[@harrytalay301]

Man those chords and picking took my breath away... what are you even playing? Never heard chords like this before lol.

[@dianejackson6047]

WhatWould this FG 140 NIppon Gakki be worth now

[@lotusfeets]

bought mine in 1970 in Newburgh NY I'll never sell it. Its part of me.

[@tomjones6441]

I just got turned on to fg guitars havent played on yet did they ever make grand concert or smaller guitars in a similar series in 60,s -70s thanks

[@nathanielstephen2498]

Are this item still available?

[@smp22]

I love my 140!

[@danielfaustino6330]

How much does a guitar like that cost in good condition these days?

[@anselmountain6884]

do you know th type of Bracing on this model?

[@polkzoo]

I do not. The Japanese have a lot of secrets about making acoustic guitars. SZ

[@hamrzlawnlake]

Do you still have it for sale?

[@WarBeer]

This has the V-neck profiles, correct? Do you know if it's an all-solid wood guitar? Just curious:) It sounds really fantastic!

[@polkzoo]

+WarBeer It has been so long sense I had it hard to remember but do not remember a V neck. With these old ones does not matter if solid or laminate....they all sound great but do not remember on this one. Steve

[@michaelworczak543]

+polkzoo I have a Martin OM-21 with a low oval neck and the Yamaha has a definite V-neck, although I don't know the name of the corresponding neck in the Martin line. Maybe the glue in the laminate top is the reason for the great sound.

[@michaelworczak543]

+Michael Worczak The body of the guitar is dreadnought, and in fact is is slightly larger than my old Martin D-18. It is a cannon.

[@michaelworczak543]

+Michael Worczak Original tuners are junk, I replaced mine with Grovers and made a bone nut and saddle for it, but still wish string spacing was wider. I know it has a traditional Martin joint to the body, not bolt-on or anything chintzy like that.

[@rigovalenz]

I have an FG-110 that has the V-neck profile, not the FG140 (I own both); as far as I know these are laminate tops.

[@polkzoo]

This is still available.

[@tedperz3111]

Beautiful

[@carlosfrusciante1]

I live in nz and i have one if you want to buy?

[@DPMFKUB-dh9lk]

This is available....???

[@polkzoo]

Sorry long gone. The guitars I sell are hard to find but do have two nice all solid recording king guitars for sale. One is a Gibson all solid wood J 45 copy for $599 that sounds amazing and another dread style all solid wood for $549 with natural aged 30 year solid Adirondack top that has some made in japan magic yamaha alvarez tone married to some pre war Martin tone.BOTH GUITARS ARE HUGE VALUE FOR THE MONEY and I think sound better then this yamaha. . Both sound unreal. E mail me if any interest, [e-mail] or text to 714 548-0385 Hard to talk through this messenger thing.

[@polkzoo]

I have another one for sale made in japan fg 140 with chipboard case

[@michaelworczak543]

Exactly same as fg-180, except less froo-froo, such as bindings. Everything else the same

[@taxisteve929]

+Michael Worczak I've owned both, and remember the tuners were not very good on the 140 I had, but sound was awesome.....and the bridge was a different shape. Unless my guitars were different, but thought they were both late 60's.

[@yoelguitar]

que tal es la fg335.:???

[@polkzoo]

sorry only speak English

[@yoelguitar]

@@polkzoo hello greetings from venezuela friend is a good guitar :) who thinks of the yamaha fg 135

[@andrewguttry6886]

Silking makes no tonal difference at all in a plywood top. It just looks pretty.

[@polkzoo]

Yes I still have it. Steve 714-548-0385
