Yamaha G 100D NIPPON GAKKI LTD

Posted by debra on Sun, 11/25/2012 - 20:03.

Would anyone know where I could find out the value and history for a Yamaha G 100D, NIPPON GAKKI LTD? I bought this at a yard sale back in 1995 when we lived in Japan. I don't see any other markings such as seriel number etc. A family member who plays in a band said he was sure this was a classic. Would appreciate any help or information. Thank you.

Yamaha SG_3C

Posted by Clay on Fri, 10/12/2012 - 16:24.

I have this guitar - bought it used in 1986. I have checked the serial number and I know it was manufactured in Japan in 1971. I lost the toggle switch (plastic end part) and the coin-like Yamaha logo (3 tuning forks). Also, I'm not sure if the two single coil (humbucker) pickup is working, but I like the base-y sound. It is in working condition. I am looking for these parts to bring it back to it's glory. any help?

HOW MUCH IS A YAMAHA FG350W WORTH?

1989 Yamaha LL - 15

Posted by Rex on Thu, 12/08/2011 - 01:18.

I have a Yamaha LL - 15 acoustic guitar that I bought new on June 16, 1989. I still have the original receipt from the day I bought it. I was wondering what the value might be for this guitar. The serial # is 306439. It does have a few minor dings visible if you look at if with a flashlight. I would say the condition would be 85 to 90 percent or better. I have the original case but it's worn out.

do you still have the LL15?

How can you tell if it is pre-1974 if not dated. Is that when they stopped making them in japan?

Re: paying top dollar for 1974 and earlier FGs

Posted by Norm Elder on Sun, 10/28/2007 - 21:43.

I am the original owner of a 1972 Yamaha FG - 2000, serial # 637, w/ signed leather patch inside, guitar. Since I am primarily an electric player, I just don't have that much use for the guitar. It is in beautiful condition, used for some recording work in the early seventies and spent its "life' in the case, in the hall closet. Pix available soon. If you, or someone you know, is looking for a pristine FG - 2000, this may be the one. please contact me,

Thanx, Norm

These Basses are made buy Yamaha Nippon Gakki and is an SA 70 yamaha semi-acoustic bass with F holes I'm guessing with out seeing any pictures.
I have two. A red and a Sunburst one 26000 and 22000 serial number range. The info I've managed to find is that they were made from 1967-8 through to 1974. The Company name is on the metal plate around the Jack plug. It is My understanding that the Yamaha Nippon Gakki Factory had a Fire after the production of some of these models loosing records and this why info is hard to come by.

Old FG 450 SE for sale, beautiful if slightly beaten spruce top, small crack near the edge, missing pickup hence 300 euros. The controls are all present. The label is that dirty green color if that tells you anything, and says made in Taiwan republic of China. This instrument is in France, so shipping Stateside might prove prohibitive.

I'm looking for some pictures, price and further informations on this guitar, because I want to start playing and it will be with an FG 350, middle of 70's, maybe start of 80's, I don't really know.

When I say FG 350, it can be FG 350w because I havn't seen any FG 350, just FG 350w.

Thanks a lot.
