Yamaha FG-365SII
The Yamaha FG-365SII is an orange label dreadnought built in Japan from 1981 to 1985, with a solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides (often a three-piece), and a mahogany neck. The three-piece back arrangement resembles a Martin D-35. Buyers dating one of these guitars should know that orange labels were used on Japanese-made examples from 1974 to 1985, while white oval labels indicate Taiwanese production from 1977 to 2001. Owners describe a warm, resonant, powerful voice with good projection and sustain. Action at the twelfth fret typically sits in the 2.5 millimeter range on well-kept examples, with plenty of saddle left for further adjustment. No specific players have been documented in association with this model.
