Don't know if it's vintage yet, thought this might be the place to post. Anyone have 'the gift' for Yamaha guitar dating ? I've gone through the 3 - 4 google links & can't seem to figure this one out. I'm guessing late 70"s to early 80's. It's a slothead 12-string dread with simple gold YAMAHA silk screen ? hdstk logo. Fully bound,nice bookmatched Rosewood ply. Diamond inlay position markers.
FG-512 Taiwan - sn- 1244158 not orange label
Soon to be an Octavello 5 course (E-A-D-G-C). Neck width seems just right, plus don't have to mess with fbd binding. I thought perhaps a simple removeable muting of the high E or low C could give you a four course flavor of either instrument; or just learn 5.
Any help greatly appreciated !
