They would both need to be custom made, as there is no direct replacement. Being 55+ years old, it probably needs a fret level, or refret, and a neck reset because of high action. The cost of this far exceeds the value of the guitar. yamahavintagefg.boards.net/thread/224/inspecting-new-vintage-yamaha-fg yamahavintagefg.boards.net/thread/319/services-available yamahavintagefg.boards.net/thread/321/start
