I have three of them now, fixing them up for resale; I've previously owned four. Excellent, underappreciated guitars; I think I did the first of my many Yamaha neck resets, on one. A properly installed JLD, and a properly cut nut, w/o the strings jammed to the center, are great mods for these. A better, tightly fitted saddle, should go w/o saying.
I've been kicking around the idea of converting one into a 12-string, w/a
Rick-style headstock, and 6 pin bridge. Maybe a red label FG-150, instead?
