She sounds really nice, as do all your guitars. I agree about new Yamahas. I just got a new FS850 all mahogany guitar and it's amazingly good. Even among Yamahas this value is hard to beat. I also have a LS Trans acoustic that is over twice the price and this 850 is very bit as nice. Great work on your tunes. Keep on rocking brother.
Thank you ! I have been seriously looking at those FS 850s. Stunning to look at. I had an FS 820 in wine that sounded great but the neck was too thin in girth for what I prefer.
Hey James, I own one myself as well. I see you mention the date it was made and also which production number it was. I think mine says 61215577. Any suggestions? Thanks 🤘🏻
Yes, however Yamaha used layered spruce for the tops which adds quite a bit of weight but also makes them so sturdy - can't kill them in any temperatures, however necks are prone to lower thus needing a neck reset which many luthiers will not do - they are extremely difficult to get the necks off so the best method is to lower the saddle as much as possible and shave the bridge wood along with a truss tightening to max.
La 180-1 sonne divinement bien 👍
