About this listing

Well loved 1971 Yamaha FG-140. Comes with the original harshell case, Dean Markley pickup, and a fresh set of strings! Great guitar for the money; known as "poor man's martin" since the 70's. It has the standard X-bracing. Made in Japan.The bridge has been filed down (ask for photos) in its life on tour with smaller bands. The chipping in the finish can be sealed over with fresh finish, trigger style, at request but will be left alone unless requested. No other issues!Open to trade and negotiate. No refunds on vintage equipment unless larger issues arise.Thank you for looking!
