Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew what a Yamaha FG-500 goes for. I found one at a consignment shop for my husband and it is going for $75. Is that a good price? Thanks

I have an fg500 Red Label. I bought it in 1969 in Tokyo. I have had many fine guitars in my day.....but that instrument is special by far! It holds it's own against any other guitar ever made!

It's solid Spruce top with solid one piece rosewood back and sides......both! I believe it is Jacarenda Rosewood. Itcould not be any better if it was made of Brazilian Rosewood!

Re: FG-500

I too have this guitar..and back is solid jacaranda..and side appeared to be laminated..

it goes up to $1900..see if the head stock reads "YAMAHA" or just Yamaha logo..

if it says "YAMAHA" that means it was produced late 60s..
you can get more $ for it...good luck~

Melinda - really hope you bought that guitar for your husband! Especialy if the label inside the guitar was red. Depending on condition, the guitar could be worth over $1000.
Regardless of value if it's in good shape - neck straight, no serious damage, it will be the sweetest playing guitar he'll own for a long time.
