I have found out that the serial numbers for Yamaha guitars get recycled every 10 years
the 1st digit is the year so if its a 5 and made in the 70's the year would be 1975
the next 2 digits are the month and the 2 after that are the day
and the last digits are the sequential serial number

51007617 which indicates it was number 617 made 1975 Oct 10th

The A in G90-A just means a slight modification of the original G-90

And no solid wood was used in the model, so its not worth getting my warped neck replaced [time to buy a new one :) ]

The Yamaha people are excellent at responding to any questions e-mail to them
for Canada the address was guitar@yamaha.ca

Hopes this helps someone.
