Yamaha FG-180
A legendary acoustic from Yamaha. The FG-180 launched Yamaha in the homes and hearts of guitar players in the 60's and 70's - and affordable 6 string Jumbo that punched way above its weight tonally. Loved by everyone from beginners to professionals, the FG-180 was one of the first Japanese built acoustic guitars that wasn't seen as a budget copy of an American built guitar but a contender in its own right.
Our 1975 example is a special one, it's been used but not abused and still has it's original case and paper receipt back when it was sold in Japan in 1975. How about that?
Spec:
- Spruce top
- Nato back and sides
- Mahogany Neck
- Rosewood fingerboard
- Rosewood bridge
- 20 frets
- Yamaha open gear tuners
- Original case
- Original receipt
Our old FG is in very good condition for a guitar of this vintage - a couple of age related marks are present but it wears them very well. Freshly set up with a set of D'Addario 11's and ready to go!
