My 1983 Yamaha FG 340 II is in the shop getting worked on for first time. Who knows anymore what that means. It has retained its Martin-like tonal quality and the Rosewood back and sides have mellowed out the sound. Ok, This was a 1980 made in Korea but the sentiment remains. Its not a Larivee (which I have owned), but it is altogether my favorite guitar! I turned 72 last week -- my pipes sure aren't what they once were and I've lost a lot of dexterity in my left hand.

So responsive, so eager to go, to get it out...and the sound builds and the blood surges and soon you are crashing and thundering through the changes and it is just...just excellent.
