Hall of Fame: 1970s Yamaha FG-251 MIJ Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

Vincent Barras

This Yamaha has a beautiful, sweet sound, great for singer/songwriters. This model was originally distributed in the Japanese Domestic Market only, so you won't find many others in Australia. For a 50 year-old vintage guitar under $1000, this one is an absolute steal!
