Description
Badass early 70s Nippon Gakki Red Label Yamaha FG-230 12 string dreadnought acoustic. The early FG series of guitars are seriously underrated and certainly very well loved by many songwriters and guitarists alike. They boast a warm sweet and full tonality similar to that of a martin dare I say. This guitar has clearly been well loved over the years and for good reason. Battle scars adorn the top from many years of loving use. There is some clouding to finish of the sides and back of the instrument present. The pickguard itself is de laminating from the top. The original bridge pins have been replaced. The bridge saddle is low and action leaning more on the high side but still rather playable and the guitar holds tune really well. Would benefit from a neck reset..or just detune a step capo on the 2nd and pretend you are Leadbelly.
Made in Japan, comes with hardshell case.
