I am considering to buy a yamaha fg 470s leaf logo vintage 1987 to 1989 : can anyone tell me what is the scale length & what is the neck profile?I have a 1977 to 1981 fg 335 which has a 24.9 scale length & semi chunky soft v neck profile which I really like.Thanks.

I've never seen one in person but I would assume it would have the same scale length. Possibly the same neck.

Play it first. The 80's models had thicker finishes than the 70's models and could be a little dead in comparison. And don't forget to check the action and neck angle.
