You can't get Martin to tell you what a old Martin is worth, nor Gibson an old Gibson. Theres no money in it for them and it opens them up to responsabilities.
The Blue Book and the Vintage Guitar book both are so wrong on the Yamaha stuff they should have it listed under made up fiction. It's that lacking and wrong.
The FG336's come up on eBay quite often. Go into advanced search and search finished auctions. Also type it into google. Harmony Central allows a "How much paid" in thier review column.
While not a "valuable" guitar. It is probably a great player
The Nato Necked Yamaha's are usually entry level and not as valuable as the Mahogany necked Yamaha's. Indian Rosewood is the standard for Yamaha fingerboards. Upper line stuff is Ebony. There are very few solid wood Yamaha's. They do do laminated wood the best. Most Solid topped Yamaha's are designated with a "S" after the number Like "FG460s12a.
