I have a Yamaha FG 580 which was purchased in the early '70s by a fellow who played dances. It was basically played hard for twenty years before I got it. It was a semi handmade copy of a Martin with a few tweaks. Mine was the bottom of the line of the semi-custom series and has no fancy inlays, but I love the sound of the old thing. I keep it strung with D'Addario extra light strings and it is my go to guitar. If I need more volume, I stick the Markley pick up in the sound hole.

Do you have to do any humidifying up there in the Great White North?
