My '78 FA100 has a multi-laminate top at any rate, so I the wood has little if anything to do with the sound. This is the price list that started my interest regarding my FA100BS cut and paste to your browser. Had never come across guitars of this type describing the wood as birch. I own the guitar, don't want to sell it, found it interesting that it was listed as birch. Juha, the discussion was for information purposes only, not buyer vs.
Hrveylee is seller and tries to convince it is good by any means (thinks maple must be better than birch, brings more money, doesn't know if there is a difference, has heard things - no documents). Sgjazz is buyer and not certain of the value of the 1979 FA100BS? Talajuha, emailed Jim Donahue, he said the guitar is laminated with a maple veneer top. What is wrong with birch? Does your expertice tell it is not good enough wood for making hollowbody guitars? Where is it? Yes, there may be mistakes in both catalogs and price lists. I'd like to see "an Elders Price list", too.
If you read the 1978 specs carefully you will see the difference between the specs of FA100BS and the specs of the semihollows. So far we don't have better source than catalogs. It takes an expert with 1979 FA100BS on his/her hands to tell for sure. I quoted 1978 catalog and said I didn't find FA100BS (and NT) in 1979 catalogs. Nobody said 'the 1979 fa100bs listed as "birch." ' but you. Regarding the 1979 fa100bs listed as "birch." It's the first guitar of uts type in the cataloge that follows the "burch" models, could this have been a mistake? I have seen an Elders Price list that descibes the guitar as maple! Has anyone asked an expert if this guitar is in fact "birch?" Use the ICW search utility and you will find a lot of info. 1980 catalog says "maple top".Īny idea how the value of the Birch holds up to the Maple? What kind of wood should the top of a 1979 FA100BS be? What would a guitar like this be worth?ġ978 catalog: "Arched birch top with selected birch back and rim." It is interesting that NT has maple top and sides.
