I have acquired my late brothers Yamaha FG 435 Made in Taiwan Republic of China acoustic guitar. Serial# 51004033. I believe he bought it in 1986. It’s black with white pick guard and a dove at the top. I would post a pic but have no idea how. Not very tech savvy. Any way I could get some information about it? I would love to restore it if feasible. Would love any information. Thanks

It was made 10/4/1985. Use the "Add image to post" button in the upper right, drag and drop.

How is the action? High action is common with 40-50 year old acoustic guitars, from 40-50 years of string tension pulling the neck up, causing a bad neck angle. But, more than likely it can be made playable. Post some pictures showing the height of the strings off of the fretboard.
