I have not researched the serial #, but it may give someone else an indication of when their git was produced.

By all means, get that thing fixed and play it again!
The serial number on my FG-110 is #
1139028, so if the sequence holds true, mine was built some time after yours was, which would fit within the Yamaha CSR's time table of 1970 - 72. I understand from research that the serial numbers were used in sequence for every stringed instrument Yamaha made, not just guitars. That would put mine at 45,639 instruments later than yours.
