Terry, nice work!

My very first guitar was a Yamaha FG-160, bought new in 1974 with $110 of paper route money. My brother helped me pick it out, playing a bunch of guitars in that price range and telling me this one was the keeper of the bunch. I played the heck out of it, until over time the neck warped beyond truss rod range. It sounded like a million bucks with new strings on it!

I sold it to a guy in Fort Collins, Colorado, about fifteen years ago...

Cheers, Tim
