hello everyone, I don't have great stories to tell. I just wanted to share my joy for this instrument that I have owned for a few weeks. I bought this guitar because I wanted to enter the world of vintage Yamaha (I own an LL16 and a CJ32). I had read good things about these instruments but I thought they were a bit exaggerated stories. Instead now I admit that I could write those things myself. I own Guid (F50R, D60), Gibson, Larrivee (L10) and Santa Cruz and with the exception of Larrivee and Santa Cruz this FG 580 does not retreat in front of the others. I think I have a crush on this guitar. Now I am curious to try some FG 180/200 but I fear that to find something better I will have to look for FG2000 or L10 / 15 ..... I await your comments

Congrats!! That's a great model! It's not very common! Can you share the serial numbers & label for my list?

The high end FG's are very rare and very expensive. I doubt they sound 10X better than the lower model FG's. The FG-180 has gotten very expensive too.

You can add pictures by clicking on the "Add image to post" button in the upper right. It will open a window, drag a drop, it will add a thumbnail that will have to be clicked on to view the full size picture. Not perfect, but it's free.

However the FON is 40130 beige tan Nippon Gakki Co., LTD label

That's some nice Brazilian rosewood!! 1/30/1974, as you probably know. If you were to find the internal date code I'd expect 49.1.??.

Yes, I like (love) this back and side. This FG 580 is a near mint condition and so is anormal. Freets are 95%, action 12° freet is 3mm (1/8 inch) and saddle protrudes from the bridg 1/8 inch. This guitar is amazing condition, and seller was sellingit at anaffordable price. One of my best deals. Its sound in incredible
