About this listing
A classic vintage Yamaha FG-180 acoustic guitar, offered as a renovation/restoration project.The guitar is in pretty good physical condition considering its age. There are quite a few bumps, marks and scratches accumulated over the years, but the original gloss finish still has plenty of life and sheen to it. It presents well overall and has the potential to make a very worthwhile restoration project.The headstock is probably the area requiring the most attention.Nut: The nut requires replacement. There has been some string rasping/buzzing on the G string which disappears when the string is fretted, suggesting the nut is the likely source of the issue.Tuning peg: The lower E-string tuning peg is missing one of its two fixing screws. A mismatched replacement screw has been fitted as a temporary solution. The fixing arrangement would benefit from proper attention, including repairing the screw hole if necessary, and refitting with a suitable matching screw.The guitar is being offered in its current condition, without strings, making it an interesting opportunity for someone looking to restore a classic Yamaha FG-180 or undertake a vintage guitar project. Based on its SN: 1313097, I think it's from mid 1970.
