Description: Warm greetings from Japan. Thank you very much for visiting our listing. This is a Yamaha FG180 red label. This is a vintage guitar that has been played a lot It is in very good condition considering its age. It is a rare gem for a red label. The actual sound is... it has an incredible amount of sustain for this class and produces a very beautiful tone. FG-180 Released around 1967 Around 1975 Main specifications Body type Western Top Spruce Back Mahogany Side Mahogany Neck Bubinga Fingerboard Rosewood Bridge Paris Sandre String length 636 Label color: Red Condition -The top has small marks from age and shallow marks that can be seen depending on the light, but it is shiny and in relatively good condition considering it is over 50 years old. -The sides also have small marks, but it is shiny and in good condition. There are slight marks s and scuffs on the back from age, but they have been touched up with alcohol paint of the same color and are not noticeable (see image). -The neck has been adjusted so it looks straight, but there is a slight wave warp on the 6th string side. -The remaining frets are about 60%. There is no extreme bulge of the top board or floating of the bridge. -The frets were a little dull, so I polished them with an abrasive and polished the fingerboard with wood oil. It is in a shiny condition (see image). -The bridge pin hole was a little tight, so we adjusted the string space with a special file. It has become more sustained. -There is one screw hole for the strap holder on the shoulder part, but it has no effect on the actual performance. -The pegs and bushes have been removed once and polished with an abrasive. It is shiny. The screws for installation have been reset to new. - The sound hole has been blown with compressor air to blow away all the dust inside. -There is no unpleasant pet odor or cigarette odor. -Finally, the body top, sides, and back are polished twice with a special professional cleaner liquid to remove dirt, buffed with fine particle compound, lightly applied special wax, wiped dry, and finally polished with guitar polish. It is in a shiny condition. (See image) -This is a rare vintage individual that has a rich volume and a pleasant sound with an elegant tone, probably because the material is moderately dry. (There is a listening video♪) -The condition is only my personal opinion, so there may be oversights. Please check the photos.
