I guess it's time to start filling up this forum by copying some of the threads from the old forum. This one is from November 30, 2014.
I got this on ShopGoodwill for $151 shipped. This model is not acknowledged by Yamaha, I emailed them, and it's not in their Guitar Archive. I found 2 others on the internet with pictures. I also found some evidence they made 2 other models in black, but only in reference, no pictures.
The finish on the back of the neck is work dull in some spots. There is some fret wear on the B & E in the first position. The action is high but the neck relief is high also. There is no saddle to sand. Oddly, the nut slots have been filed and they are low. It's the original nut so I'll probably fill and file them. Judging by the strap and the low nut slots I'd guess this was owned by an older person.
Here it is!! With the beat up case and ugly strap. The guitars not that pretty either (black with a white pick guard), but it's in pretty good shape for 38 years old. The only real damage is from a drop on the back lower bout. I can drop fill that with superglue.
It's not the pretties guitar I've ever seen. It's a little ugly. But it seems to be very rare.
