We must all be on the same wavelength. I too have an old Yamaha acoustic (FG-230 12 string)...

I bought this 12 string acoustic guitar in 1971 when I was 17 for $108...had just enough money left to get home on the subway in NY. ;-)

For years it was my only decent guitar, but for a much longer time now it's been sitting in my closet all dusty and un-played...

Recently I pulled it out of the closet and re-strung it and had some work done to it at Buffalo Brothers which is nearby... This guitar has a neck like a tree trunk but man what tone!
