Still plays like a champ. It was handed down to me. I had to adjust the trust rod a bit but the action is great and tone for my finger picking style I play. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025645346068733604.post-37821571835219358442020-12-18T14:42:28.130-05:002020-12-18T14:42:28.130-05:00Thanks for your reply, Im glad to learn that!

The serial number should be visible if you look inside the sound hole towards the neck. It should have 8 numbers. When you see the numbers, write them down and then enter them into the guitar dater at this site: https://www.guitarinsite.nl/serienummers-yamaha_eng.php<br />It will spit out the date of manufacture for you.<br />CheersBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13167543098128217079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025645346068733604.post-8106904593176053502019-06-24T14:36:31.141-04:002019-06-24T14:36:31.141-04:00Won one of these in an ebay auction for 140 bucks ...Won one of these in an ebay auction for 140 bucks about 10 years ago. The seller wanted a paltry $11 for shipping - and now I know why - he shipped it in a big ol' box with no padding or protection of any kind inside. It was free to bounce around in there and take direct hits from anything that made contact with the box. Thankfully it was still pristine when I opened the box. I consider myself a guitar hack, play maybe 15 or 20 chords and limited finger picking, so I can't provide a professional player's insight about the guitar. But I find it great to play and you can't beat its durability or looks ... in the entire Yamaha vintage FG line, there are only a couple of models that look roughly like this one, and only one, maybe two that have the sunburst finish. I also own a little-seen Yammie FG-340T, I would say it has a slightly better sound and is heavier than the 336SB, suggesting it might have a better build quality and durability, and is highlighted by its ultra-rare tea-colored "T" tint on the top. Both play very alike, comfortable, low enough action to play for a long time and move from chord to chord.

Otherwise, the saddle is the white (usually) plastic (or alternative material like bone) that sits in the bridge and over which the strings originate. That and the nut over which the strings pass at the top of the neck can be filed down to lower string height. Finally, a neck reset is needed when the angle of the neck no longer allows proper string angle despite the above modifications. Hope that helps.Acoustic Pickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461414749578518629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025645346068733604.post-7362032681097406192019-02-11T01:00:01.272-05:002019-02-11T01:00:01.272-05:00Can u explain how to lower the action ,, Can u explain how to lower the action ,, Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347652703473484549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025645346068733604.post-31733384242119557082018-09-07T09:36:38.804-04:002018-09-07T09:36:38.804-04:00Thanks for stopping by.Thanks for stopping by.Acoustic Pickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461414749578518629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025645346068733604.post-63837027027783973362018-09-06T19:11:42.425-04:002018-09-06T19:11:42.425-04:00Have one looks great sounds great red stamp inside...Have one looks great sounds great red stamp inside<br /><br /><br /><br /> says 2nd also stamped 90930835 .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979986232047809337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025645346068733604.post-49182570886683663702016-10-06T18:40:34.842-04:002016-10-06T18:40:34.842-04:00Yamaha has notoriously incomplete records, but her...Yamaha has notoriously incomplete records, but here you go:<br />http://faq.yamaha.com/us/en/article/musical-instruments/guitars-basses/ac-guitars/796/4094Acoustic Pickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461414749578518629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025645346068733604.post-50341312360366356862016-09-09T12:30:21.054-04:002016-09-09T12:30:21.054-04:00How can I find the age of my acoustic guitar..
