Vintage Yamaha Fg-160 Nippon Gakki Made In Japan Circa 1972 Fully Re-furbished

  

THIS IS A VINTAGE AND VERY WELL USED YAMAHA FG-160 NIPPON GAKKI MADE IN JAPAN ACOUSTIC GUITAR CIRCA 1972 MAKING IT AT LEAST 47 YEARS OLD. THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT NEED TO BE POINTED OUT AND EXPLAINED. THE MACHINE HEADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT SOME TIME IN THE PAST WITH A SIMPLE NO NAME SET. THIS ONCE AMAZING YAMAHA GUITAR HAS HAD A NOT VERY GOOD QUALITY RE-FRET DONE AT SOME TIME IN THE PAST.

THERE ARE SOME SHARP AND ROUGH EDGES TO MANY OF THE FRETS ALONG THE NECK EDGE. THERE IS ALSO SOME WEAR TO SOME OF THE TOP FRETS. THERE HAS BEEN A WOOD DAMAGE ON THE BACK LOWER EDGE THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND THEN RE-LACQUERED. DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR CAUSED BY HARD PICK PLAYING SOMEONE HAS RE-LACQUERED AN AREA ABOVE AND AROUND THE SCRATCH-PLATE WITH A LACQUER. I HAVE PROBABLY OVER PLAYED ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH THIS VINTAGE YAMAHA GUITAR AS I DO NOT WANT TO CAUSE ANYBODY DISAPPOINTMENT AFTER PURCHASING AND RECEIVING IT. I HAVE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE TOTALLY RE-FURBISHED THIS YAMAHA, ALTHOUGH IT STILL HAS ALL THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED IN DETAIL ABOVE. THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN DONE. 1 THE WHOLE GUITAR HAS BEEN CLEANED AND POLISHED. 2 THE NECK HAS BEEN CLEANED AND POLISHED. 3 THE ROSEWOOD FINGER-BOARD HAS BEEN CLEANED AND TREATED WITH LEMON OIL. 4 THE ROSEWOOD BRIDGE HAS BEEN CLEANED AND TREATED WITH LEMON OIL. 5 THE NECK TRUSS ROD HAS BEEN LUBED AND ADJUSTED. 6 THE BRIDGE SADDLE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED.

7 THE FRETS HAVE BEEN DRESSED WHERE NEEDED. 8 THE MACHINE HEADS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND ADJUSTED.

9 I HAVE RE-STRUNG THIS VINTAGE YAMAHA WITH A NEW SET OF 11-52 LIGHT GAUGE BRONZE METAL STRINGS. THIS VINTAGE YAMAHA GUITAR PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT BUT HAS ISSUES AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
