: If I remember my model numbers, the FG 200 is just a laminated top folk guitar. I think they retailed new for about $250.00
not so. The FG-200 has a solid spuce top and probably solid nato back and sides. They have a very nice full tone and should be worth several hundred dollars even now. It was made in Taiwan in the early seventies (I believe). You should take this instrument to a real acoustic guitar shop to find out what it's worth.

I have an FG-200 that I bought new in 1973. I was 14 at the time and didn't know about solid tops, I just liked the way that it sounded. It does have a solid spruce top (inspect the grain at the soundhole). I believe that the back and sides are rosewood. In any case it is not a lamenated (plywood)guitar. The sound gives it away. In 1973 I paid $210 (I worked all summer for that guitar) for the guitar and a Guild hardshell case at Wood Bros. Music in Pittsfield, MA.
I figure a similar new guitar today would cost $450-$650.
