A vintage Yamaha FG-180 six-string dreadnought acoustic guitar, manufactured by Nippon Gakki Co. Ltd., Japan. With natural-finished spruce top, mahogany-coloured back and sides, dark fingerboard with dot position markers, rosewood-style bridge, black scratchplate and multi-ring soundhole rosette. The headstock bears the gold Yamaha logo and is fitted with six open-geared tuning machines. Interior with the characteristic red Yamaha/Nippon Gakki FG-180 label. The FG-180 has become one of the better-known early Japanese Yamaha acoustics and has developed a strong following amongst players and collectors, being particularly associated with Yamaha's early "Red Label" instruments. Condition: In well-used vintage condition, with numerous scratches, knocks, scuffs and areas of finish wear throughout, particularly to the soundboard and edges of the headstock, consistent with age and regular use. Hardware with some tarnishing and surface wear. Appears substantially complete. Playability, neck angle and action have not been professionally assessed.
