Yamaha FG-180 (1972) Red Label (MIJ Nippon Gakki)

Here is your chance to collect a very nice Yamaha FG-180, one of the best examples for sale anywhere. SN : 20407901 This version is an early 70’s piece that was made in Japan for their market (hence headstock logo) by Kasuga Gakki for Yamaha. - Rare logo only generally used for Japanese domestic market - Bridge has not been thinned down (shaved/planed) which is uncommon to see on these, so there are still options to easily reduce the action in the future (left original) - Nice original Yamaha (original orange lining) case is present, again not common to see outside of Japan and makes a great combo! - This piece has been well cared for and there are much less signs of use than you would expect to see on a guitar that is 54 years old! For a player there are no issues with this guitar, they are nearly always heavily relic'd If you are looking for another one of these it will not play this well, they never do without extensive setup work. The current action is set medium and plays really well. 3mm low E, 2.5mm high E. Saddle is low yet as mentioned there is adjustment room via re-working the bridge itself. Truss rod not seized and adjusts either way as it should All hardware appears original. The tone is confident, bassy, and the mojo is there!
