Yamaha FG-160 Tan Label Nippon Gakki - Made in Japan, with hard case.

Very good condition overall with a nice vintage look and feel. Tonally, this guitar has exactly the kind of dry, open and mature sound people chase in old Japanese acoustics. The aged wood gives it a really pleasant natural compression with rich harmonics, strong sustain and a warm low end without becoming muddy. It has that classic vintage Yamaha “folk cannon” character: clear trebles, woody mids and surprisingly big bass response for its size. These older FG-series guitars also tend to resonate more freely with age, giving them a lively and broken-in feel that newer guitars often need decades to develop. Specs / condition: Made in Japan, Nippon Gakki era Classic Yamaha folk dreadnought design Original Yamaha tuning machines Ply spruce top Ply mahogany back & sides Mahogany neck Rosewood fretboard & bridge X-braced construction Includes hard case Fresh fret polish, frets are shiny and in great shape Medium-big C neck profile Approx. 12" fretboard radius 25" scale length 1 11/16" nut width Body width: 16 1/4" Body depth: 4 1/2" No cracks No previous repairs Neck is straight No fret buzz The guitar was recently cleaned up after a previous owner had painted the bindings white. Most of that paint has now been carefully removed and the guitar is back much closer to its original appearance. There is still a small bit of residue at the neck/top junction that can be removed with a bit of isopropyl alcohol and patience. Current action is approximately 1.7mm on the high E and 2.25mm on the low E, which translates to a very comfortable fast-playing setup for a vintage acoustic. The saddle is already very low and the truss rod is at the end of its useful adjustment range, so I would consider the setup to be close to its practical limit. That said, the neck is straight, the action is comfortable, and the guitar plays well as it sits. There are a few marks on the top and back, as expected on a vintage acoustic, but nothing structural. No cracks, no previous repairs, and the guitar plays cleanly with no fret buzz. Quick and insured shipping
