Can anyone help with the value of an old acoustic guitar?

Yamaha FG-340. Perfect condition. I'm not selling it since it was a gift from my parents and they had it since this thing was first made available. I don't play it much because I suck and they never really got after it so the thing sat in it's case for a LONG time.

Anyway, I'm interested in what it's worth. If it's $50, I don't mind carrying it with me and leaving it in my room or whatever. If it's $500, then I'll probably find a safer spot than where it's at.

I couldn't find much online. It's not the 340T or the 340II model. Those seem easier to price.

Thanks in advance.

then yeah u can get that much for it...if u hang on to it for a while it will only go up in value..it actually isn't a bad guitar...the action is alright enuff to make it sound full and bright like a humingbird(gibson)...if u need the scratch get rid of it but if u want the value hold onto it...for a jap guitar it;s worth it to hold onto it....cheers

Waiting in line for hours to turn down their $12 offer because they "don't have people looking for guitars every day" and because "they have to make a profit" doesn't sound like fun.

I still like the show though.
