2002 Yamaha The FG Custom Shop All Solid Guitar- Natural

This is a beautiful limited edition version of the Yamaha FG-180 but instead of plywood it is made with all solid wood. It is one of the lightest most resonant dreadnaughts I have ever played. The original seller said it came in at about 3.85lbs. There are a few small dings and scratches, but nothing crazy. There is a small chip on the side of the neck that was repaired by a luthier, you can see it in the pictures I posted. It comes with a nice case and the receipts, some strings, the original saddle (I had a bone saddle made). Right now it has very low action and 11's. I bought it from Japan a few years ago and it has been stored at the proper humidity and temperature for the whole time. The first Japanese owner was a smoker, so there is a slight cigarette scent, but I'm sure it could be remedied if the case was cleaned. Let me know if you have any further questions. This is the perfect guitar for devout Elliott Smith fans. It is the same as his guitar but better and newer.
