When I worked for Eldon Stutzman selling instruments back in the '70's, the Yamaha FG-75 was the standard basic "first steel-string guitar" we sold -- along with some Gianninis that would take silk & steel strings. As I recall, it listed at $75 -- same as the model number; in any case it was less than $100.
Wonder how many of them are still around 45 years later? I had a nearly complete Yamaha PA in the '80's; still have two PA cabinets with 10-inch speakers plus tweeters, that I use as auxiliaries when I put out a "big" PA set-up. Good music gear all-around.
