Wow that's Very interesting, says alot about aging doesn't it, just the subtle change's that influences the sound- tone, not volume so much but tone, BEAUTIFUL 😮
Skid Row it depends on the condition, the year and place where it's made and how much the owner is willing to sell it. In eBay it cost 250 US dollars and up plus shipping fee.
I know the FG 180 are famous for sound but to shed a little light on the subject ... I have had several FG180's. I took my FG335 1978 and my FG 180 1967 & did a little sound test comparison, side by side, same strings same test tunes, & recorded as well. on the recording I could not tell any difference. But in hand, live to ear I did note the slightest difference, maybe 5-8% warmer/Brighter with the 180. Which I would probably attribute to the extra 11 years of aging/being played. Assuming everything else was almost equal.
I realize this video is a while back, but if you're still around, do you know what strings are on it? I have this guitar too; I bought it in 1970. Thanks.
@@dogbig02 I bought my 1969 FG180 just over a year ago, got a great deal at $100 due to its "highly relic'ed" condition lol! See what I mean here -- th-cam.com/video/w09sGau_EX4/w-d-xo.html
Christopher Alchin did you find a guitar to buy ? I’m in the Philippines and there isa nice one here FG-151 and it’s in excellent condition ! If you’re interested give me your email and I’ll send you photos
David Allen it cost @ 180 US dollars in the 1970s; Martin D18 cost 280 dollars; D35 at 380 dollars. Now, the FG 180 costs around 2K dollars; D28 @ 4K; D35 @ a lot more. It’s may sound cheap for rich customers but not for the poor ones.
@@artvillarino2878 then again if you really want something you'll find a way. Many poor people worked very hard through history to earn the money to get 1 quality guitar. We are spoiled today. You could make enough money to buy a premium guitar just signing up for community college and get money back from Pell Grant. Or finance through guitar center, or do lawn work on the weekends. No excuses for an American to not be able to afford a nice instrument if they really want one.
Richard Lucas Cronley well, I’m in law school now and my priority is to graduate then find a better job. Guitars and other things are just luxuries that can wait. Nevertheless, I’ll stick to my old Yamaha FG-180 and Gibson J45 for now until further notice.
@@artvillarino2878 with guitars like those... I mean you own some people's dream guitars. Even if you never got another guitar the rest of your life you'd be set
no, it loses value just in case of strutural changes, holes for preamps, etc, this guitar is not a pre war martin rs...is a work horse, it deserves to be in war conditions
I love old guitars that can still sweeten the ear, like this one.
I have a Yamaha FG180-1 .. Awesom sound and allot of sound .. I belive it is 47 years old, and still going strong :o)
Those Yamahas sound awsome !!
I own some big name guitars , Taylor, Martin and Yamaha stands up there with them - with no problem !!
nice playing very mellow
I have a Yamaha FG251b from 1983, and still sound awsome. even a Taylor 8xxx series can't compare.
Wow that's Very interesting, says alot about aging doesn't it, just the subtle change's that influences the sound- tone, not volume so much but tone, BEAUTIFUL 😮
I have one also, been in the family for over 40 years would not part with it either!! still sounds awesome!!
how much is a vintage guitar like that, if currently estimated?
I have one too, a red label. Wonderful sound
Nice playing and nice guitar! What song are you playing from about 1:15 to about 3:08?
yeah yamaha FG série is magnifique sound !!!
このオンボロ感が最高やぁ・・・

Nice sound, looks like about the same condition as mine.
I have old fg 180 in used condition with a crack but its amazing

If you could reproduce this experiment on camera, it would make a great TH-cam video!
Guitar Porn - I have one of those and would´t trade it in for the world
How in the world can the saddle be that low?
I've seen Martins and Old Gibsons that low. The next step would be a neck reset.
@BreatheScotland I was surprised a single sound came out of that... But it sounded good!
red or beige lable

These guitars were dirty cheap just the aging process made them sound good
David Allen it cost @ 180 US dollars in the 1970s; Martin D18 cost 280 dollars; D35 at 380 dollars.
Now, the FG 180 costs around 2K dollars; D28 @ 4K; D35 @ a lot more.

I have yamaha SJ-180 😍😍😍
Everyone grab the fg 800..Gonna be worth bucks in a few years
เก่ามาก.ดาร์คสุดๆเรยคับพี่น้อง
This Yamaha has apparently new frets, a vintage guitar loses its value if any original part is changed.
no, it loses value just in case of strutural changes, holes for preamps, etc, this guitar is not a pre war martin rs...is a work horse, it deserves to be in war conditions
i have.
this.
oh my lord.
